In particular, 2 emerging pathogenic fungi--the chytridiomycete Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which causes chytridiomycosis in amphibians (4,5), and the ascomycete Geomyces destructans, which causes white-nose syndrome (WNS) in hibernating bats (6)--are implicated in the widespread decline of their vertebrate hosts.

Por ejemplo, en muestras del Triasico aparecieron muestras abundantes de Zygomycetes representados en su mayoria por hongos de los ordenes Endogonales y Glonales; en muestras del periodo Pennsilvanico aparecieron importantes muestras le Chytridiomycetes y algunas muestras de hifas con fibulas caracteristicas de los Basidiomycetes.

The vast majority of fungi are terrestrial, but the chytridiomycetes, a basal group of fungi, includes flagellated, unicellular, aquatic forms, and it is likely that this was the ancestral condition of the group (1).

The last reviews on fungal diversity in a variety of peatlands in Europe, North and South America (Thormann, 2006; Thormann & Rice, 2007) report 601 species of fungi identified globally, being Ascomycetes the largest group with 276 species (46%), followed by Basidiomycetes (243 species, 40%), Zygomycetes (55 species, 9%), and Chytridiomycetes (26 species, 4%).
