ABSTRACT
Bryophilous fungi are an understudied group with unknown biodiversity in tropical
regions, and are often underestimated worldwide. In Brazil, research on this ecological
group has primarily focused on the southern and southeastern regions. During a survey of
bryophilous fungi in the northeastern region, specifically in Bahia State, two novel species,
Brachydesmiella bahiensis and Dendryphiosphaera longispora, were discovered. Brachydesmiella
bahiensis resembles B. biseptata and B. caudata, but exhibits conidial distal cell
morphology between these two species. Dendryphiosphaera longispora has longer conidia
than other species within the genus. Also, the uncommon microfungus Dwibeeja sundara
was reported for the second time globally. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of each
species are provided.
