A conspectus of the filamentous marine fungi of Sweden

Abstract

Marine filamentous fungi have been little studied in Sweden, which is remarkable given the depth and width of mycological studies in the country since the time of Elias Fries. Seventy-four marine fungi are listed for Sweden based on historical records and recent collections, of which 16 are new records for the country. New records for the country are based on morphological identification of species mainly from marine wood, and most of them from the Swedish West Coast. In some instances, the identifications have been made by comparisons of sequences obtained from cultures with reference sequences in GenBank. Corollospora angusta, Corollospora filiformis, and Corollospora pulchella, previously known from tropical/subtropical areas, are recorded for the first time for Sweden. The arctic Havispora longyearbyensis was also found. Kalmusia longispora and Neocamarosporium calvescens were reported for the first time from marine habitats.

“…Note . Originally described from Sweden, this is a species mostly collected on land plants, but only recently (Tibell et al 2019 ) observed from marine wood. Eight marine Neocamarosporium species are listed in the website http://www.marinefungi.org , often from salt marsh plants such as Halimione portulacoides, Salicornia spp., while N. endophyticum was described from Zostera noltii .…”
