Fungi are phylogenetically and functionally diverse ubiquitous components of almost all
ecosystems on Earth, including aquatic environments stretching from high montane lakes …

A census of the biomass on Earth is key for understanding the structure and dynamics of the
biosphere. However, a global, quantitative view of how the biomass of different taxa …

Most investigations into ocean ecology and biogeochemistry have tended to focus on
marine bacteria, archaea, and protists, while pelagic fungi (mycoplankton) have traditionally …

Abstract Index Fungorum, Species Fungorum and MycoBank are the key fungal
nomenclature and taxonomic databases that can be sourced to find taxonomic details …

Mycologists have been fascinated with marine fungi for more than 70 years now. An
enormous volume of information on marine fungi is presently available. We can now say …

Mycoplankton have so far been a neglected component of pelagic marine ecosystems,
having been poorly studied relative to other plankton groups. Currently, there is a lack of …

Despite nearly a century of study, the diversity of marine fungi remains poorly understood.
Historical surveys utilizing microscopy or culture-dependent methods suggest that marine …

Recent studies suggest that sand can serve as a vehicle for exposure of humans to
pathogens at beach sites, resulting in increased health risks. Sampling for microorganisms …

Growing interest in understanding the relevance of marine fungi to food webs,
biogeochemical cycling, and biological patterns necessitates establishing a context for …

This article revises the documented diversity of known marine fungi from nine phyla, 33
classes, 107 orders, 273 families, 767 genera and 1898 species reported worldwide. A …
