(utricularae?), and Pythium irregularae have been reported from the Arctic before. Chytriomyces annulatus, C. poculatus, Nowakowskiella macrospora, N. ramosa, Rhizidium verrucosum, Rhizophydium angulosum, R. coronum, R. eleyensis, R. karlingii, Rhizophydium sp. (nodulosum?), and Rhizophydium sp. (patellarium?) are reported for the first time from the Arctic.
