Description 233-236
Mycological examination of calcareous shells of three species (balanids, bivalves and Turritella), cuttle fish 'bone', exoskeleton of crabs and feathers accumulated on the sandy beaches yielded six ascomycetes, one basidiomycete and three deuteromycetes. Cuttle fish 'bone' harboured maximum species (8) followed by shells of bivalves (4). Among the ascomycetes, arenicolous fungi were dominant (5) and at least one species was recorded on each substrate. Except for feathers Corollospora maritima was most prevalent. Mean ascocarp densities (no/cm2) of substrate collected from Mangalore coast were highest on exoskeleton of crabs (225) but it was least on feathers (
