Abstract

The occurrence, abundance, and taxonomical composition of fungi have been analyzed for different compounds of the freshwater ecosystems of various natural zones (from tundra to desert), particularly, for plankton, benthos, on living and dead plant substrates, and on some fish species. The role of terrigenous fungi in the freshwater ecosystems is discussed.
