(Hyphomycetes from water and soil at the Dois Irmãos Forest Reserve, Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil). To increase our knowledge regarding fungal diversity in aquatic environments, water and soil were collected at the edge of two dams (Açude do Vale do Prata and Açude do Meio) at the Dois Irmãos Forest Reserve, Recife, Pernambuco state. Five uncommon species of Hyphomycetes were found, among others. Water samples were collected below the water surface and soil samples from the shores of these dams. Soil samples were diluted to 1:10000, and 1 mL of each suspension was plated in Martin's medium with 50 mg/L chloranphenicol. Water samples (1 mL) were plated in the same medium. The plates were left at room temperature (27 ºC ±2) for 3-4 days, for colony development and subsequent species isolation. Among the identified species, Curvularia tuberculata Jain, Dendrosporium lobatum Plakidas & Edgerton ex Crane, Dichotomophthoropsis nymphaearum (Rand) M.B. Ellis, Phaeoisaria glauca (Ellis & Everh.) Hoog & Papendorf and Trichurus spiralis Hasselbring have rarely been cited and have yet not been described in Brazil.
