“…Facultative aquatic fungi were studied in Brazil more extensively than aero-aquatic fungi. In general, a higher number of species from this group has been recorded (Barbosa et al 2013, Silva et al 2014, Monteiro 2014 and multiple new species have been described from the Brazilian semiarid region and Brazilian Amazon (Silva & Gusmão 2013, Monteiro & Gusmão 2014, Monteiro et al 2014b, Fiuza 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.
