Abstract
The mangroves at Del Carmen, Siargao Island support a high fungal diversity, with 66 taxa identified in this study. In total, 46 species are new records for the Philippines, 2 of which (Swampomyces sp. and Halocyphina sp.) could be new species. In total, 10 taxa were frequently collected, whereas some 56 taxa were occasionally collected. The fungal taxa collected from Rhizophora apiculata, Xylocarpus granatum, Nypa fruticans and driftwood were found to differ. The distributions of taxa associated with R. apiculata and X. granatum were differentiated on a vertical gradient; however, in N. fruticans vertical distribution was not clear cut.
