Abstract

Abstract Although many novel marine fungi have been described from Indian mangroves, a significant number of mangroves in India have not been thoroughly investigated for marine fungi. This study highlights the diversity of marine fungi inhabiting dead and decaying wood of Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata, collected from Thengaithittu and Veerampattinam mangroves of Pondicherry, Puducherry State, India. Through microscopic examination, a total of 52 species (in 48 genera) of marine fungi were identified, with 50 species (in 46 genera) belonging to the Ascomycota and 2 species (in 2 genera) belonging to the Basidiomycota. Previous studies recorded 69 marine fungi from Ariyankuppam and Mahé mangroves of Puducherry, and this study contributes 22 new records of marine fungi to this region. In this study, the phylogenetic placement of Rhizophila marina was determined, and this fungus was found to belong to the family Diatrypaceae.
