Endophytic fungi play a vital role in protecting and promoting the growth of their host plants. The diversity fungal endophytes has been documented across different plant species varies depending on factors such as host, ecological conditions, health status plant. We isolated endophytic from Prunus yedoensis trees with decay rates. A total 31 were decayed trees, while 33 obtained healthy trees. number exhibiting antifungal activities against wood was higher 10 showing activity compared to only 1 fungus Fusarium acuminatum (BEN48) had highest inhibition rates Trametes versicolor, Ganoderma gibbosum, Vanderbylia fraxinea. Heating conditions did not significantly affect inhibitory ability culture filtrate BEN48 fungi. At 50% concentration, abilities filtrates fraxinea 96.5%, 64.1%, 92.7%, respectively. effects versicolor decreased at concentrations 30% 10%, resulting 83.7% 50.8%, For rate reduced 52.6% concentration 24.5% 10% concentration. fraxinea, there no significant difference between concentrations, for both high, measuring 89.9% 88.8%, Hence, promise biocontrol agent managing
