Abstract

Samples from the intertidal zone of mooring posts of oak standing in Svanemøllen Harbour and samples from fallen oak trees lying in the waterline at Strandegaard Dyrehave were examined for the occurrence of marine lignicolous fungi. Buxetroldia bisaccata gen. et sp. nov., belonging to the Halosphaeriaceae, was encountered and is described from light microscope (LM) and SEM studies. The taxonomic position of B. bisaccata is discussed especially in relation to Tunicatispora australiensis; the main difference between the two species is found in the structure of the ascospore appendages.
