The frequency of occurrence and seasonal periodicity of aquatic hyphomycetes in a temperate freshwater stream of Central Himalaya were studied. The number of aquatic hyphomycetes species was found to vary inversely with temperature ( r = −0.499; not significant), which explained 25 % of the variability. There were two maxima, one in spring and the other in autumn. On the basis of their occurrence, the species observed have been categorised into three groups. Constant species were Campylospora chaetocladia, Flagellospora penicilloides, Lemonniera aquatica and Tetracladium marchalianum .
