Description 380-382
Driftwood samples collected in 1992 and 1993 were incubated in the laboratory for up to 18 months and examined periodically for colonization of marine fungi. A total of 24 species were encountered of which were 16 Ascomycetes, two Basidiomycetes and six Deuteromycetes. Crinigera maritima was the most common fungus, whereas Aniptodera chesapeakensis, Caryosporella rhizophorae, Corollospora colossa. Dictyosporium pelagicum and Verruculina enalia were recorded frequently. Calathella mangrovei, Corollospora angusta, Corollospora colossa and Cringera maritima were new records to the west coast of India. The kind of mycota and their frequency of occurrence varied between two years. The percent frequency of occurrence of fungi also varied at different incubation periods. Six months incubation of driftwood yielded about 70% of the total marine fungi encountered.
