All the five species are being reported for the first time form Bhuldhana District.   1. Introduction The occurrence of water-borne fungi has been reported from various parts of Europe, Africa. America, Asia and Australia (Ingold,1975; Subramanian,1971).To India, the aquatic hyphomycetes were studied by Ingold and Webster (1973),Subramanian and Bhat (1981), Sridhar et al. (1992), Galiah and Manoharachary (1987), Agrawal et al. (1991), Sati and Tiwari (1997), Sati et al.(2002).In Maharashtra , these fungi were recorded by Thakur (1977),  Patil and Kapadnis (1980), Patil (1998), Borse and Patil (2006), Borse and Patil (2007). The present study reports five species of freshwater hyphomycetes from Bhuldhana District over a period of one year (2008-2009).  2. Materials and Methods Samples of foam were collected from the river Purna of Bhuldhana District.  Foam analysis In general, the foam formed by the movement of the water against natural barriers like stones, twigs and logs, especially in lotic systems, constitutes a natural trap for the conidia of aquatic hypomycetes. Foam samples were collected at morning and evening time. Samples were made with a ladle and placed in clean wide mouthed plastic bottles and kept for 24 hours to enable the foam to dissolve. It was preserved by adding FAA .Then samples were brought to the laboratory and observed under research microscope for the presence of conidia of hyphomycetes.   The permanent slides were prepared as suggested by Kohlmeyer & Kohlmeyer (1996). Identification of the freshwater hyphomycetes were confirmed with the help of Nilsson (1964), Ingold (1975), Marvonova (1997), and Cai et al. (2003) and other relevant literature. Reports of fungi from India and Maharashtra were confirmed with the help of Kamat et al. (1971), Bhide et al.(1987), Mahabale (1987), Bilgrami et al. (1979, 1981, 1991), Sridhar et al. (1992), Sarbhoy et al. (1986, 1996), Jamaluddin et al. (2004) and other relevant literature.   Taxonomic account Anguillospora crassa Ingold  (Plate 1,Fig. 1,)  Conidia: hyaline, S or L shaped, 120- 200 µm long and 15- 20 µm wide in the middle  region, tapering to 8- 10 : hyaline,branched,the main body globose or ovoid at the ends. Habitat: Conidia in foam samples,Purna river. Distribution in India: Maharashtra (Thakur, 1977), Karnataka (Sridhar and Kaveriappa, 1986, 1992), Kumaun Himalaya (Sati and Tiwari, 1990). Remark: The measurements and descriptions of conidia are completely agree with that of Anguillospora crassa. Therefore, it is assigned to thatspecies.                    L. C.

Distribution in India: Maharashtra (Thakur, 1977, Talde ,1983), Western Ghat (Subramanian and Bhat, 1981), Kerala (Sridhar and Kaveriappa, 1985), Karnataka (Sridhar and Kaveriappa, 1982, 1988; Ramesh and Vijaykumar 2000;Western Ghat, Rajashekhar and Kaveriappa,2003). Remark: The measurements and descriptions of conidia are completely agree with that of Anguillospora longissima (Sacc. And Sydow). Therefore, it is assigned to that species.  Campylospora chaetocladia Ranzoni (Plate 1,Fig.3) \Conidia: composed of two parts, proximal half triangular, 3-4 septate, 8- 12.5 µm high, 10- 12 µm wide at the base, distal half allantoids, 3- 4 celled, 9- 13 µm long, 3.5- 5 µm wide.
