Diversity and physiology of marine lignicolous fungi in Arctic waters: a preliminary account
Information on the diversity of marine fungi in polar environments is lacking, especially marine fungi colonizing wood. During visits to Tromsø and Longyearbyen, Norway, drift and trapped wood was collected to provide a preliminary account of lignicolous marine fungi in Arctic waters. Six marine fun...

Information on the diversity of marine fungi in polar environments is lacking, especially marine fungi colonizing wood.
