Abstract
Aquatic hyphomycetes are a group of fungi that usually inhabit in freshwater. They are also known as freshwater hyphomycetes, amphibious hyphomycts, and water-borne hyphomycetes. These fungi usually occur on submerged decaying leaves or twigs of dicotyledonous trees and foam in freshwater, and play an important ecological role as decomposer. At present, there are around 290 species on earth. In Taiwan, 40 morphologically distinct spores have been found and they can be arranged in three groups﹕(1) Hyphomycetes with thalloconidia, (2) Hyphomycetes with phialoconidia, and (3) unknown species with spores from foam. They were identified as 27 known species and 13 unknown species with 20 species are new records for Taiwan, and one without formal nomenclature. New records are Anguillospora longissima, Campylospora chaetocladia, Clavariopsis aquatica, C. azlanii, Flabellospora acuminata, Lunulospora curvula, L. cymbiformis, Pyramidospora fluminea, Setosynnema isthmosporum, Tetrachaetum elegans, Tetracladium setigerum, Tricladium chaetocladium, T. fuscum, Triscelophorus acuminatus, T. konajensis, T. monosporus, Varicosporium state of Hymenoscyphus varicosporoides, Alatospora acuminate, Clavatospora tentacula, and Lemonniera filiformis. One species, Campylospora sp., is decribed in many places but without formal nomenclature.
