Yes, many species of fungi are limited to specific habitats.
- Fungi can be found all over the world and can flourish in a variety of environments, including oceans and deserts.
- While many fungal species are global generalists, some are specialized to specific substrates or environments.
- Extreme environmental conditions are likely to inhibit the growth of a mycobiota in unusual fungal niches such as salt flats and salterns, high Arctic glaciers, hypersaline microbial mats, plant trichomes and Antarctic dry valleys.
- Among the mycobiota adapted to cold and saline habitats, yeasts, black yeast-like fungi, melanized filamentous species, as well as representatives of Aspergillus and Penicillium, appear to be prominent.
- Trichomes on plants appear to be a special niche that is home to a large number of new taxa.
Hence, certain species of fungi can be limited to a specific habitat and understanding the habitat type and the characteristics of the pre-dominant fungi can be useful in separating the genera.
