Recent investigations have increased our knowledge of the ecology of mangrove fungi . In this paper this information is reviewed with emphasis on biogeography, biodiversity, differences in the tropical and subtropical mycoflora, fungal distribution on mangroves trees, host specificity, vertical zonation and distribution with salinity . Gaps in our knowledge are discussed. There is little knowledge of the role of mangrove fungi in nutrient cycling which is also reviewed . Areas in which knowledge is deficient include quantification techniques for fungal abundance, the nature and activities of fungal extracellular enzymes and fungal modification of mangrove detritus matter, especially the dissolved form .

“…A list of 132 species described in Massam'na was annotated by Hyde (1995a). More recently, many newT species have been described: five from marine or mangrove intertidal environments (Hyde and Borse 1986, Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-Kohlmeyer 1987, Hyde 1989, 1991, Hyde et a1 1992, eight from the freshwater environment (Hyde 1992, 1994, 1995b, Shearer and Hvde 1997, Hyde and Aptroot 1998, Tsui et a1 1999a, and eight from terrestrial environments (Shoemaker et a1 1991, Hyde and Aptroot 1997, Poonvth et a1 1999, Aptroot et a1 2000.…”

The monophyletic status of the genus Massam'na was evaluated on the basis of phylogenetic analysis of the partial small subunit gene (SSU), internal transcribed spacers (ITS 1 & 2), and 5.8s gene sequences of the ribosomal DNA. Species of Massarina used in the study clustered into two distinct clades with high bootstrap support in trees generated from maximum parsimony, weighted parsimony, maximum likelihood, and neighbor-joining analyses. The hypothesis that ~Wussam'naspecies belong to a phylogenetically monophyletic group is rejected. Species with narrowly fusiform ascospores form a monophyletic clade with Lophiostoma, a genus highly similar in morphology. The five species currently accepted in Massarina with such spore morphology are here transferred into the genus Lophiostoma. Massarina species with broadly fusiform to ellipsoidal ascospores are retained as ~Vassam'na s. str., lectotypified by M. ehurnea. 1Zlassam'na walkem' is presently excluded from both ~Mccssam'na and Lophiostoma. The transfer of M. papulosa to a new genus Olethem'o.~trigula is verified.
