abstract = {The current study describes a new endophytic species Muscodor camphora from inter?nal stem tissue of Cinnamomum camphora. The fungus produces white hairy colonies over po?tato dextrose agar medium with sterile ropy mycelial filaments and hyphal coils. Scanning electron micrographs exhibited that they form dense hyphal web which club to form rope like mycelium and coils. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) based phylogenetic, genetic distance and haplotype analysis confirms its identity as a new species in the genus Muscodor. The fungus also produces a unique mixture of 18 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) predominantly producing tetracontane, 4-octadecylmorpholine, N,N-dimethyl-1-pentadecanamine and cis-9-hexadecenal. These volatiles exhibited synergistic inhibitory effect over a tested battery of pathogenic microorgan?isms. Out of 15 tested pathogenic microorganisms, the VOCs inhibit the growth of fungal pathogens by 13?70 %, while considerable inhibition was observed against Candida, Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species.}
