Abstract
The Faraman pan is a highly saline Mediterranean coastal pool. Few micro-organisms are able to grow in this extreme environment, where the total dissolved salt content averages 300‰ with sodium chloride as one of the main components. Five species of fungi were collected from driftwood, and several Deuteromycetes and two Ascomycetes were found growing on the vegetation around the edges of the pan. These terrestrial fungi are able to develop in culture media with higher salinity levels than those of sea-water
