An extensive literature search was performed to review current knowledge about endophytic fungi isolated from plants included in the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) dossier. The selected genera of plants were <i>Acacia</i>, <i>Albizia</i>, <i>Bauhinia</i>, <i>Berberis</i>, <i>Caesalpinia</i>, <i>Cassia</i>, <i>Cornus</i>, <i>Hamamelis</i>, <i>Jasminus</i>, <i>Ligustrum</i>, <i>Lonicera</i>, <i>Nerium</i>, and <i>Robinia.</i> A total of 120 fungal genera have been found in plant tissues originating from several countries. <i>Bauhinia</i> and <i>Cornus</i> showed the highest diversity of endophytes, whereas <i>Hamamelis</i>, <i>Jasminus</i>, <i>Lonicera</i>, and <i>Robinia</i> exhibited the lowest. The most frequently detected fungi were <i>Aspergillus</i>, <i>Colletotrichum</i>, <i>Fusarium</i>, <i>Penicillium</i>, <i>Phyllosticta</i>, and <i>Alternaria.</i> Plants and plant products represent an inoculum source of several mutualistic or pathogenic fungi, including quarantine pathogens. Thus, the movement of living organisms across continents during international trade represents a serious threat to ecosystems and biosecurity measures should be taken at a global level.
