A one‐year examination of mammary secretions (n = 2,896) from Danish cattle with clinical or subclinical mastitis revealed 45 strains of fungi and algae. The strains originated from 44 mammary secretions of 42 cows in 40 herds. The following species of fungi were identified: Candida catenulata (n = 2), Candida kefyr (n = 6), Candida krusei (n=17), Candida rugosa (n = 6), Candida tropicalis (n = 3), Candida valida (n=1), Geotrichum capitatum (n = 5). The algal species Prototheca zopfii was demonstrated in five samples.
