Marine fungi play an integral role in the decomposition of intertidal organic substrata but remain understudied in cold-water habitats including Atlantic Canada. Marine inundated wood from the intertidal zone was sampled from 30 sites along the Bay of Fundy coastline in Nova Scotia, Canada. Wood types studied included attached and loose intertidal wood, and driftwood. Emergent fungi were cultured and identified using ITS (internal transcribed spacers) rDNA barcoding. Two hundred and twenty cultures representing 86 fungi are reported. Sixty-one fungi were new records for the Bay of Fundy, 41 are first records from the marine environment, and 19 fungi are potentially new to science. Fungi identified included eight obligate marine fungi, with the remaining fungi being facultatively marine. Eight ascomycetes were soft rot fungi; this ecological strategy for decaying woody material in cold-water marine environments is discussed. Historical records and roles of wood type and site on fungal colonization are discussed.
