abstract = {Fusarium isolates were obtained from healthy seeds of wild grasses collected in six regions of Brazil. A total of 11 phylogenetic species were identified among 41 isolates based on sequences of EF-1α. These are members of the three species complexes (SC) F. fujikuroi (FFSC, n=24), F. incarnatum-equiseti (FIESC, n=13) and F. chlamydosporum (FCSC, n=5), which encompass known plant pathogens, mycotoxigenic species, but also endophytes. Two new phylogenetic species were confirmed by a combined dataset (EF-1α, RPB2 and TUB) and described here as F. caapiises and F. brachiariae. The new species are inserted in the African clade of the FFSC and morphologically similar to F. mundagurra and F. nygamai. Another one singleton represent new phylogenetic lineage in the FIESC. This survey contributes to the knowledge of endophyte Fusarium species associated with wild grasses in Brazil. Furthermore, our results show that natural ecosystems reveal high diversity of Fusarium and may be source of novel species.}
