Marine fungi like Leptosphaeria species, Mycosphaerella species, and Cirrenalia macrocephala were for the first time
recorded only by direct microscopic observation of the pneumatopores of Avicenia officinalis from Indian mangrove habitat by Garg (1982). Hyde (1989c) reported that the decayed archids Acrostichum speciosum (Mangrove fern) were collected from Kampong Kapok mangrove, Brunei and examined for higher marine fungi (A new bitunicateascomycete, Massarina acrostichi).
