We present a checklist of fungi that have been reported in the literature to be associated with mangrove forests. In total 625 fungi are listed, including 278 ascomycetes, 277 mitosporic fungi, 30 basidiomycetes and 14 oomycetes. For each fungus we list their known geographic distribution in mangrove forests, host associations, as well as known habitats and type of substrate. Ascomycetes and mitosporic mangrove-associated fungi differ in their substrate affinities and habitats. Terrestrial and sediment fungi have more restricted geographical distributions compared to intertidal fungi, but this may be due to sampling error rather than biological reality.

Citations in the corpus
- Fifty years of marine mycology (2011, background): “Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer (1979) listed 42 mangrove fungi, while Schmit and Shearer (2003) listed 625 taxa, but this figure inlcuded those growing on terrestrial parts of mangrove trees.”
- Morpho-molecular characterization of microfungi associated with marine based habitats (2020, background): “Extensive investigations on mangrove fungi have been carried out in the Caribbean and Pacific Islands (Kohlmeyer 1984, Kohlmeyer & Kohlmeyer 1993, Jones & Abdel-Wahab 2005) and in South East Asia (Sarma & Hyde 2001).”
- Fungal biodiversity in aquatic habitats (2006, background): “Seventy-two plant species have been reported as hosts for mangrove fungi (Schmit and Shearer 2003).”
