Microfungi from different substrata in south west Africa (Namibia)

RESUMEN

This paper come be considered as a little contribution to knowledge of fungal biodiversity in Namibia. Soils, seed dung an some vegetal substrata such herb, leaves and bark were collected at random in order to investigate the presence of tropical microfungi and to determine significance of some fungal taxa in the Namibia ecosystem. A total of 49 genera and 80 taxa predominantly anamorph of Ascomycota was recorded, most of them (51 por ciento) were insolated from soil and many were considered common tropical microfungi. The most representative isolate taxa in all substrata analized or in some of them were Alternaria, Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Bipolaris, Chaetomium, Fusarium, Penicillium and Phoma. It is interesting to note in vegetables the presence of Lasiobolidium spirale, quite a rare species.
