“…The first aero-aquatic hyphomycete recorded in Brazil was Peyronelina glomerulata P.J.Fisher, J.Webster & D.F.Kane in the state of Paraiba from a soil sample (Batista et al 1970). Subsequent studies focused on freshwaters greatly expanded our knowledge on the biodiversity and distribution of aero-aquatic hyphomycetes in Brazilian biomes of Caatinga, Amazon and the Atlantic Forest (Barbosa et al 2013, Monteiro & Gusmão 2013, Moro et al 2015a. Nowadays, 19 species of aero-aquatic hyphomycetes are recorded from Brazil, 15 from Amazon (Monteiro 2014), six from Caatinga (Batista et al 1970, Barbosa & Gusmão 2011 and seven from Atlantic Forest (Magalhães et al 2011, Moro et al 2015a).…”

Aquatic litter-associated fungi are a relatively understudied group that includes mostly asexual stages of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota which are adapted to aquatic environment. They are important players in fundamental ecosystem-level processes, including decomposition of submerged organic matter. The aim of this work was to carry out a taxonomic survey of aeroaquatic hyphomycetes and other fungi associated with submerged decaying plant litter in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil and provide descriptions, comments and illustrations, including worldwide geographical distribution for new records and rare species. Dactylaria fusifera, Helicoon myosuroides, Pseudaegerita websteri, Spadicoides subsphaerica and Verticicladus subiculifer are reported for the first time after the original descriptions; Pseudaegerita viridis is a new record for the Americas, Spirosphaera carici-graminis is a new record for South America and Ardhachandra aequilatera is a new record for the aquatic environments.

“…In Brazil, relatively few studies of aero-aquatic fungi have been carried out. However, recently, several new species have been described (Monteiro & Gusmão 2013, Monteiro et al 2014a, Moro et al 2015a and new records of rare species have been published (Barbosa & Gusmão 2011, Monteiro 2014).…”

“…The contribution of Brazilian studies to the knowledge of aquatic fungi in South America has been quite expressive (Schoenlein-Crusius & Grandi, 2003;Fiuza et al, 2017). The studies of aquatic hyphomycetes in Brazil started in São Paulo (Schoenlein-Crusius & Milanez, 1989), in the Atlantic Forest biome, and were later carried on to different regions and biomes like the Amazon (Monteiro & Gusmão, 2013;Fiuza et al, 2015;Krause et al, 2020), Caatinga (Almeida et al, 2011;Barbosa & Gusmão, 2011;Fiuza & Gusmão, 2013) and Cerrado (Malosso, 1999;Schoenlein-Crusius, 2002). In the Atlantic Forest of the Northeast, Cavalcanti & Milanez (2007), Oliveira (2016) and Silva et al (2019) added contributions to the knowledge.…”

Aim The Atlantic Forest is a Brazilian biome whose biota plays a fundamental role in the preservation of water quality. Hyphomycetes play an important role in aquatic ecosystems as they can decompose organic matter and, consequently, contribute to nutrient cycling, maintaining aquatic life. The aim of this work was to determine the diversity and composition of the aquatic hyphomycetes community in two areas of Atlantic Forest in the state of Pernambuco (Charles Darwin Ecological Refuge) and Alagoas (Pedra Talhada Biological Reserve), in addition to comparing these communities with the water abiotic factors. Methods For this, four collections of submerged decomposing leaves, for evaluation of the fungi community, and water for measuring the parameters: acidity, alkalinity, chlorides, electrical conductivity, total coliforms, color, BOD, COD, DO, total nitrogen, pH, total solids, sulfates, temperature and turbidity, and calculation of the Water Quality Index (WQI) were carried out. The samplings took place between July/2018 and May/2019, at six points along a stream in each study area. Results Fifty-three taxa were identified, and 1926 occurrences were recorded in 2592 leaf fragments. There was a predominance of Blodgettia aquatica, Blodgettia indica, Flagellospora penicillioides, Flagellospora sp., Mycoleptodiscus disciformis, Triscelophorus monosporus and Xylomyces acerosisporus, with similarity of these and other species between the studied areas. In the rainy season, there was a greater occurrence of aquatic hyphomycetes in both areas; however, the diversity of fungi was greater in the Charles Darwin Refuge. Abiotic factors such as temperature, DO and rainfall influence the occurrence of hyphomycetes, however, no community structure was detected or strongly correlated with the studied abiotic variables. Conclusions The areas presented adequate values for the variables indicative of water quality and high richness of hyphomycetes species, demonstrating the importance of legal protection for the conservation of natural areas.

“…e first published studies of freshwater fungi in Amazonian waters (Peru) were conducted by Matsushima in white water rivers [19]. More recent studies have described new species of ascomycetes in the Peruvian Amazon [20][21][22][23][24] and in the Brazilian states of Pará [25,26] and Amazonas [27,28]. In general, the microbial community of the Amazon region is still underexplored, and studies describing the diversity and ecology of fungi in the Amazon region are urgently needed.…”

Aquatic ecosystems in tropical forests have a high diversity of microorganisms, including fungi, which are important decomposers of submerged wood. Despite the importance of their role in decomposition, research concerning the diversity of freshwater fungi from Brazilian Amazonian environments is scarce. The aim of this work was to describe the composition and diversity of fungi present on submerged wood in two lakes of the Brazilian Amazon (State of Pará). Fragments of decaying wood (30 samples per lake) were collected from the Lakes Juá and Maicá. The wood samples were inspected for 6 months in the presence of fungal reproductive structures. Fungi observed in the wood were identified morphologically. Twenty-three taxa were identified in the Lake Juá (10 sexual and 13 asexual) and 26 taxa in the Lake Maicá (17 sexual, 9 asexual). ITS sequences were obtained for 14 taxa to aid in identification. In the Lakes Juá and Maicá, the diversity indices were H': 2.6514 and H': 2.8174, respectively. The Sørensen index of the fungal communities in the studied lakes was 0.3673. This study is the first to describe the fungal biodiversity of two important aquatic environments in Pará, Brazil.
