Abstract

Twelve lignicolous marine fungi are reported for Kuwait coastal waters (3 Deuteromycotina, 9 Ascomycotina), the first reports of marine fungi from this region. The most common species are Halosphaeria salina, Antennospora quadricornuta, Cirrenalia macrocephala and Humicola alopallonella. The first two species are regarded as tropical water species, while C. macrocephala and H. alopallonella are cosmopolitan in their distribution. Observations on spore appendage ontogeny in H. salina are reported.
