TLDR
The fungi growing on the mangrove wood blocks showed a pattern of succession, with L. laevis as an early colonizer, D. parvus a late Colonizer, and A. parVus aLate colonizer.
Abstract
Randomly collected mangrove wood and wood blocks of Avicennia alba and Avicennia lanata submerged for 60 weeks in Mandai mangrove, Singapore, were investigated for marine fungi. Very frequent species on the random samples were Halosarpheia retorquens and Lignincola laevis and on the submerged wood blocks were Didymosphaeria enalia, Lignincola laevis, Lulworthia sp. 1, Aigialus parvus, Aniptodera marina, Halocyphina villosa, and Ascomycete No. 25. The fungi growing on the wood blocks showed a pattern of succession, with L. laevis as an early colonizer, D. enalia and Lulworthia sp. 1 intermediate colonizers, and A. parvus a late colonizer. The variations in the results obtained from the two sampling methods are also discussed.

Fifty years of marine mycology

TL;DR: This review will highlight areas that warrant further investigation, including surveys for marine fungi in Africa, artic waters and south America, more detailed studies of their physiology and biochemistry, and to determine the marine origin of so called “marine derived” fungi.

TL;DR: A previously overlooked fungal community in a poorly studied area is characterized, high diversity is discovered and many taxa are reported for the first time from the marine environment.

Seasonality and sequential occurrence of fungi on wood submerged in Tai Po Kau Forest Stream, Hong Kong

TL;DR: Fungal communities on wood baits of Machilus velutina and Pinus massoniana were similar during both pioneer and early successional stages, but differed at the later successional stage, as compared to the cool dry season.

Cunninghamella echinulata a new biosorbent of metal ions from polluted water in Egypt.

TL;DR: The biomass-alginate complex efficiently removed Pb, Zn and Cu from polluted water samples and could be employed either in free or immobilized form as a biosorbent of metal ions in waste water.
