Abstract. We studied the species diversity of microfungi associated with plants on Tendra Island on the northern part of
Ukraine’s Black Sea coast. The island’s vegetation is quite well preserved and its flora has a high level of endemism. Altogether
101 species of fungi were recorded: Ascomycota, 75 species (29 Dothideomycetes, 23 Leotiomycetes, 22 Sordariomycetes,
1 incertae sedis); Basidiomycota, 25 species (1 Microbotryomycetes, 22 Pucciniomycetes, 2 Ustilaginomycetes); and Oomycota,
one species (Oomycetes). The rare and interesting fungal species included two new records for Europe and nine new records
for Ukraine; several species were noted on new host plants. A list of all collected microfungi known so far on Tendra Island is
given, with their host plants, localities, dates and collectors.
Key words: Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, Oomycota, micromycetes, Tendra Island spit, Black Sea

INTRODUCTION
Tendra Island is located on the northern part of
Ukraine’s Black Sea coast. It is a narrow spit about
70 km long which arches southeast to northwest
(Fig. 1). Most of the spit is 50–450 m wide, but in
the area called White Knolls it is 600–1500 m wide,
and at the northwestern tip about 2 km wide. The
island is formed by marine sand-shell deposits.
Its vegetation is represented mainly by communities of geobotanical classes Asteretea tripolium,
Thero-Salicornietea, Juncetea maritimi, Cakilietea
maritimae and Festucetea vaginatae (Umanets
& Solomakha 1999). Only on the wide northwestern
part of the island are there trees and shrubs formed
by unusually high tree-like Ligustrum vulgare L.,
Cotinus coggygria Scop., Rhamnus catharctica L.,
Sambucus nigra L. and Prunus sp., as well as some

nemoral species in the herbal layer. These isolated
communities, occurring at the extreme southern
margin of their distribution area, are of great scientific value. Meadow and steppe species grow
in open areas between shrub thickets. A high degree of endemism characterizes the island’s flora,
which includes a considerable number of species
whose distribution is limited to littorals of the Azov
and the Black Seas [e.g., Cakile euxina Pobed.,
Crambe pontica Steven ex Rupr., Elytrigia bessarabica (Savul. & Rayss) Prokudin, Silene syvaschica Kleopow, Artemisia trautvetteriana Besser].
For some vascular plant species Tendra Island is
the locus classicus. Galium tenderiense Klokov,
Seseli tenderiense Kotov, Medicago tenderiensis
Opperman ex Klokov and Helichrysum tenderiense
Umanets were described from here. Such endemic
species as Melica chrysolepis Klokov, Asparagus

Otites artemisetorum Klokov are listed in the European Red List of Globally Threatened Animals and
Plants (Anonymous 1991), and 11 species listed in
the ‘Red Book of Ukraine’ (Anonymous 2009).
For a long time the island was difficult to access due to its remoteness and the special state
border regime of the area. Unlike similar coastal
maritime territories in Ukraine, Tendra Island has
maintained a high level of species diversity, and
for this reason it attracts the interest of many biologists from various fields. Before our research,
however, the fungi of this area were almost unknown. There was a single publication with two
species of fungi reported from the island: Erysiphe limonii and Tranzscheliella hypodytes (as
Ustilago hypodytes) (Umanets 2005). Information
about several species found during our observations of Ephedra distachya was published recently
(Hayova & Minter 2009a–g; Hayova 2010). Here
we report our more detailed examination of phytotrophic fungi in this unique area.
MATERIALS
AND METHODS
The main field studies took place at the end of May
2007. In addition, several samples of fungi were collected by O. Umanets (17 July 2003 and 2–11 August
2005) and V. Dzhagan (1–2 May 2009). The collection
sites were as follows: northern vicinity of Tendra light-
house (area north and west of 46°19′N/31°31′E); part
of the spit adjacent to an abandoned research vessel,
the Mgla (46°15′N/31°36″E), area called White Knolls
(46°15′N/31°40′E), area near Nature Reserve ranger
post (46°14′N/31°38′E), and area near Austrian beacon
(46°13′N/31°47′E) (Fig. 1). Except for the first area, the
surveyed areas are located within the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve. In the list of fungi collection localities,
for brevity the areas are referred to as Tendra lighthouse,
abandoned boat, White Knolls, ranger post and Austrian
beacon, respectively.
Light microscope preparations were examined.
Identifications, species taxonomy and nomenclature are
based on numerous mycological sources (e.g., Majewski
1977, 1979; Dennis 1978; Sutton 1980; Braun 1987,
1995; Heluta 1989; Ellis & Ellis 1997). The collected
materials are stored in the National Herbarium of the
M. G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy
of Sciences of Ukraine (KW).
The list of species is arranged taxonomically following Kirk et al. (2008); taxa within families are
listed in alphabetical order. Author citations are given
according to Kirk and Ansell (1992). For each species of
fungus the following information is provided: scientific
name, host plant, locality, date and collector(s).
RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION
In total, 101 species were recorded on Tendra Island. Most of them are true fungi and are associated with plants. Ascomycota are presented by 75
species (29 Dothideomycetes, 23 Leotiomycetes,
22 Sordariomycetes, 1 incertae sedis) and Basidiomycota by 25 species (1 Microbotryomycetes,
22 Pucciniomycetes, 2 Ustilaginomycetes). Only
one species of fungus-like (chromistan) organisms was found – Albugo candida (Oomycota,
Oomycetes).
Most of the collected species are common in
Ukraine. Some are rare, and some are new records
for the country or are registered on new host plants.
For example, an interesting record is Albugo
candida on Crambe pontica, a European-Mediterranean littoral representative of Brassicaceae,
listed in the ‘Red Book of Ukraine’ (Anonymous
2009). Previously this fungus was unknown on
representatives of Crambe L. in Ukraine. Another
species, Pleospora dura var. dura Niessl., was
collected on remnants of C. pontica, also a new
V. HELUTA ET AL.: MICROFUNGI ON PLANTS FROM TENDRA ISLAND
host plant in Ukraine. Erysiphe buhrii, E. lycopsidis and Golovinomyces valerianae are quite rare
species of powdery mildew. Anisantha tectorum,
Onosma borysthenica (O. arenaria p.p.) and Carduus thoermeri were recorded as host plants of
powdery mildew fungi for the first time in Ukraine.
The last two species are apparently new hosts globally, as they are not mentioned in Amano’s (1986)
monograph.
Some host plants, for example Ephedra distachya, are rare in Ukraine and usually occupy
threatened habitats. In our observations on the
Tendra Island spit, 10 species of fungi were recorded on E. distachya. For most of them it is the
only plant on which these species are known to
occur in Ukraine. Eight species of fungi collected
on E. distachya were reported for the first time in
Ukraine: Aposphaeria ephedrae, Teichospora ephedrae, Cucurbitaria ephedricola, Camarosporium
ephedrae, Lophiostoma ephedrae, Macrophoma
ephedrae, Microsphaeropsis ephedrina, and Pleospora ephedrae. The first two were newly recorded
in Europe (Hayova & Minter 2009a–f; Hayova
2010). A new record for Ukraine is Melanotaenium
cingens, a smut fungus collected on Linaria genistifolia. The infection of Holosteum umbellatum by
the rare species Microbotryum holostei found in the
host’s stamina and ovaries is epiphytotic. It is the
second record of the fungus in Ukraine.
