Explanation

Sea fungi are related to Basidiomycota.Basidiomycota is a phylum of fungi that includes many well-known groups, such as mushrooms, toadstools, and puffballs. They are often found in various terrestrial habitats, including forests, grasslands, and gardens, but some species can also be found in marine environments, particularly in coastal regions or submerged wood. Sea fungi within the phylum Basidiomycota have adapted to thrive in saltwater and are capable of breaking down and decomposing marine plant material.About 444 species of marine fungi have been described, including 10 species of basidiomycetes, and 360 species of ascomycetes. The remainder of the marine fungi are chytrids and mitosporic or asexual fungi.Reference; Species of Higher Marine Fungi Archived 2013-04-22 at the Wayback Machine University of Mississippi.
