This study combines morphological, molecular and phylogenetic techniques to identify the fungal endophyte, using the ITS sequence of nrDNA. A detached leaf assay was conducted to assess the pathogenicity of the fungal endophyte suggesting its mutually symbiotic relationship with the host. The authors also investigated the antifungal potential of the isolated endophytic strain to ascertain its use as a biocontrol agent. The study shows that <jats:italic>P. caribaeo\u2010quercicola<\/jats:italic> INL3\u20102 strain exhibits biocontrol activity against four key fungal phytopathogens that cause significant agronomic and economic losses: <jats:italic>Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium solani<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Fusarium oxysporum<\/jats:italic>. Notably, <jats:italic>P. caribaeo\u2010quercicola<\/jats:italic> INL3\u20102 strain is highly effective against <jats:italic>A. flavus<\/jats:italic>, with an inhibition percentage of 57.63%. In addition, this study investigates the antioxidant activity of <jats:italic>P. caribaeo\u2010quercicola<\/jats:italic> INL3\u20102 strain crude extracts using ethyl acetate and methanol as solvents. The results showed that the methanolic fraction of <jats:italic>P. caribaeo\u2010quercicola<\/jats:italic> exhibits potential as an antioxidant agent, with an IC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> value of 171.90\u2009\u00b1\u20091.15\u2009\u00b5g\/mL. This investigation is first of its kind and marks the initial report of this fungal basidiomycete, <jats:italic>P. caribaeo\u2010quercicola<\/jats:italic>, as an endophyte associated with a medicinal plant. The findings of this study highlight the potential of <jats:italic>P. caribaeo\u2010quercicola<\/jats:italic> INL3\u20102 strain as a dual\u2010action agent with both biocontrol and antioxidant properties consistent with the medicinal properties of <jats:italic>Inula racemosa<\/jats:italic>. This endophytic fungus could be a promising source of natural compounds for use in agriculture, medicine, and beyond.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jobm.202400080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]],"date-time":"2024-06-21T07:25:28Z","timestamp":1718954728000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evaluating the Biocontrol Efficacy and Antioxidant Potential of <i>Phellinus caribaeo\u2010quercicola<\/i>\u2014A First Report Dual\u2010Action Endophyte From <i>Inula racemosa<\/i> Hook.
