Intertidal mangrove fungi from north Sumatra

Abstract

Investigations into the intertidal fungi of Kampong Nelayan Mangrove (Belawan), north Sumatra, yielded 39 species of which one is new to science. Driftwood and mangrove roots and branches were examined. This first report of marine fungi from north Sumatra extends our knowledge of their ecology and geographical distribution. The new species is described and illustrated at the light microscope level.
