Abstract
Saprobic higher marine fungi were collected in Aldabra (8 species, 1 variety), Galapagos (10 species), Hawaii (17 species), and Tobago (22 species). The material includes 26 ascomycetes, 1 basidiomycete, and 5 deuteromycetes. Lindra hawaiiensis (Maui) and Massarina thalassiae (Aldabra, Belize, Florida, Galapagos, India (Madras), Mexico (Baja California)) are new species. Distribution maps for the following species are presented: Cytospora rhizophorae, Didymosphaeria rhizophorae, Halosphaeria cucullata – Periconia prolifica, Lindra thalassiae, and Massarina thalassiae. Endemic marine fungi with saprobic modes of life have not been encountered.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
