Abstract

The saprobic microfungi associated with endemic plants of Mauritius have been studied. Over 200 taxa were identified of which approximately 90% are new records for Mauritius including one genus and 38 new species. The mycobiota encountered on the monocotyledonous genus Pandanus is more distinct than that on three dicotyledonous hosts Sideroxylon, Cordemoya and Olea. Arguments are presented to support the inclusion of microfungi in in situ conservation management policies.
