This scoping review of 56 studies published between 2015 and 2025 identified a fundamental methodological divergence within the field: while phenotypic bioactivity screening dominates the literature (&gt;87% of studies), it is weakly supported by chemical characterization (&lt;25%) and entirely disconnected from genomic investigation (0% biosynthetic gene cluster studies). This phenotype-first paradigm has largely confined the field to descriptive reporting, limiting mechanistic understanding and translational potential. Collectively, the evidence reveals a substantial disconnect between reported bioactivities and their underlying biosynthetic foundations. To address this limitation, a practical genotype-to-phenotype workflow is proposed that integrates strain prioritisation, multi-omics-guided activation, chemical mapping, and mechanism-oriented validation. By linking genomic potential with metabolite production and biological function, this framework provides a roadmap for advancing fungal natural product discovery beyond conventional phenotype-driven screening. Adoption of such approaches may improve the identification of chemically novel and biologically relevant metabolites while supporting the sustainable development of Malaysia\u2019s endophytic fungal resources for biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jof12070494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,6]],"date-time":"2026-07-06T12:01:37Z","timestamp":1783339297000},"page":"494","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Untapped Mycobiota: A Scoping Review of Endophytic Fungi in Medicinal Plants from Malaysia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ling","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Life Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1373-1374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chia Wei","family":"Phan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Life Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia"},{"name":"Mushroom Research Centre, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yee Shin","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mushroom Research Centre, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia"},{"name":"Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0045-6206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaya Seelan","family":"Sathiya Seelan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 88400, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wei, W., Khan, B., Dai, Q., Lin, J., Kang, L., Rajput, N.A., Yan, W., and Liu, G.
