The authors investigated aquatic fungi and chromistan organisms (fungus-like organisms) growing on dead fragments of 7 species of floating-leaved plants (Limnanthemum nymphoides, Nuphar luteum, Nuphar pumilum, Nymphaea alba, Nymphaea candida, Polygonum amphibium f. natans and Potamogeton natans) in the water from three limnological and trophical different water bodies (spring, river and pond). They identified 106 species including 42 chromistan organisms and 64 fungus species, found on the fragments. A number of chromistan organisms and fungus species (Catenomyces persicinus, Nowakowskiella profusa, Polyphagus parasiticus, Rhipidium americanum, Rhipidium interrupta, Rhipidium partenosporum, Sporodina grandis, Endophragmiella latifusiformia, Pseudocercospora manuensis and Saprochaete ramosissima) are recorded as new to Polish waters.
