I surveyed marine fungi collected from the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. A total of 31 taxa, including 19 ascomycetes and 12 anamorphic fungi, were identified from 100 submerged driftwood samples collected randomly along two sandy beaches. The most frequent fungus was Corollospora maritima. Other common fungi include C. portsaidica, Leptosphaeria oraemaris, Cumulospora marina and Periconia prolifica. Among the 31 taxa identified during this study, 21 are new records for the Mediterranean Sea, bringing the total number of Mediterranean marine fungi to 79. Seven new fungi were recorded during the course of this study, of which two new species of Corollospora and one anamorph have been described, and work is in progress to describe the remaining four. An unknown species of Didymosphaeria is illustrated in this paper, but not formally described because there was insufficient material available for further study of the species.
