there has been a massive increase in information on mangrove-participatory fungi. Besides the large number of estimated fungal species, Hyde (1990) listed only 120 species of fungi from 29 mangrove forests around the world. These included 87 ascomycetes, 31 mitosporic fungi, and 2 basidiomycetes. As diverse plant survive in mangroves, it is considered as a major channel of fungal repository.
