Studies of aquatic fungi. XX. Seasonal changes of mycoflora in the pool in the palace park.

Abstract

Studies of aquatic fungi were carried out in the annual cycle in the years 1987-1989 against a background of hydrochemical relations in the pool in the park of the Medical Academy in Białystok. 59 species of aquatic fungi were found, of which a prevailing number were reported many times in various water reservoirs of Poland. Such species, however, as Diplophlyctis complicata, Nowakowskiella atkinsii, Allomyces moniliformis, Pythium pulchrum, Zoophage phanera, Lemonniera filiforme and Tricladium patulum are new to Polish hydromycoflora. In summer months (July-August) the mycoflora of the pool was poor; the occurrence of various species of aquatic fungi increased in autumn and spring, and less so in winter.
