2.4.4 Microascus

Six Microascus species have been reported from marine habitats, isolated from seawater, sponges, corals and the deep sea (see https://marinefungi.org). We illustrate two species Microascus cinereus and M. trigonosporus ( Figures 1 and 2 ) isolated from intertidal wood collected from the coasts of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, China, that are new records for marine fungi in China ( Jin et al. 2004, 2005).
