Description :
The present paper deals with marine fungi from Sonneratia alba of Andaman Island (India). Samples of drift wood and intertidal wood samples of Sonneratia alba were collected randomly during low tide period from different coastal areas of Andaman Island. These samples examined for colonization of marine fungi. Twelve species of marine fungi were isolated and illustrated. Out of these marine fungi 7 species of Ascomycetes (i.e. Biatriospora marina, Halorosellinia oceanica, Verruculina enalia, Savoryella paucispora, Salsuginea ramicola, Pleospora pelagica and Morosphaeria velataspora) and 5 species of Mitosporic fungi (i.e. Camarosporium palliatum, Cirrenalia macrocephala, Clavatospora bulbosa, Periconia prolifica and Phoma sp.) were encountered. Out of these fungi Halorosellinia oceanica is very common fungi reported from most of the wood samples of Sonneratia alba.
