Abstract

Marine fungi are severely understudied in
Norway. In this survey we publish 17 species
new to Norway and DNA reference sequences
(barcodes) for seven species of obligate marine
fungi. Moreover, we review previous marine
mycological efforts in Norway, and compile
the first check list of Norwegian marine fungi.
Based on temporally and spatially unevenly
distributed records, altogether 61 species of
obligate marine fungi have been found in
Norway since 1895, including seven species
described as new to science. However, recent
molecular studies on wood-inhabiting marine
fungi indicate that a much greater diversity
exists. By examining a wide range of habitats
and substrates, both with morphological and
molecular methods, we expect that thousands
of fungi can be detected in Norwegian marine
habitats in future. These are likely to include
hundreds of obligate marine species
