Abstract

An annotated checklist and table of the substrate type for the past and updated fungal species recorded from various submerged plant debris in aquatic habitats of Iraq are provided. Sixty seven (67) species of freshwater and marine fungi occurring in different types of plant debris collected from various locations of Iraq were registered. These include: 46 species of ascomycota, 19 species of hyphomycetes and two species of coelomycetes. Of these, 11 species were reported for the first time in Iraq. Brief descriptions of the new records are presented.

 

Key words: Fungi, aquatic habitat, Iraq.
