Abstract

A field survey was conducted to investigate diversity of aquatic and aero- aquatic fungi in a reservoir and its upper streams in central Cameroon, western Africa. Twenty-four species of hyphomycetes were identified from 15 genera based on various types of conidia in foam samples collected during 1996-1997. Four species, namely Anguillospora logisima, Campylospora parvula, Helicomyces sp. and Triscelophorus acuminatus, were found being abundant in the samples. Thirteen species were less abundant, including Anguillospora filiformis, A. pseudolongissima, Campylospora chaetocladia, Clavariopsis sp., Condylospora flexuosa, Condylospora spumigena, Condylospora sp., Flagellospora curricula, Kamatia indica, Lunulospora cymbiformis, Paraulocladium fabisporum, Scutisporous brunneus, and Triscelophorus konajensis. The other species including Alatospora acuminata, Clavariopsis aquatica, Condylospora gigantic, Speiropsis scopiformis, Tetracladium setigerum, Triscelophorus magnifies and Weisneriomyces conjundrosporus were found occasionally. Nine species reminded as un- identifiable species according to documented references available.
