This is a first report on the fungal diversity of the Kara Sea, one of the most inclement seas off Russia. Eighteen bottom sediment samples taken from three different areas were examined. Using a direct plating method, I isolated 539 fungal strains (46 species in 24 genera of Zygomycota, Ascomycota and anamorphic fungi). Tolypocladium inflatum , Pseudogymnoascus roseus , Pseudeurotium zonatum and mycelia sterilia were the most frequent taxa in the samples.
