Resumo

This study aimed to isolate and morphologically characterize fungal strains associated with Dacryopinax spathularia and Aleuria sp. collected in an urban environment in the municipality of Tabatinga, Amazonas, Brazil. Macrofungi were sampled from anthropogenic substrates and subjected to isolation on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), followed by macromorphological and micromorphological analyses. Six fungal isolates were obtained and differentiated based on colony characteristics such as color, texture, growth pattern, and diameter. Micromorphological analysis allowed the identification of one isolate as Penicillium sp., based on the presence of septate hyphae, branched conidiophores, metulae, and phialides forming typical penicillate structures. The occurrence of D. spathularia and Aleuria sp. in an urban environment highlights the adaptability of macrofungi to anthropogenic conditions and their ecological role in the decomposition of organic matter. Additionally, the observed morphological characteristics suggest potential biotechnological applications, particularly related to the production of enzymes and bioactive compounds. The results reinforce the importance of urban environments as reservoirs of fungal biodiversity in the Amazon and highlight the need for further molecular and biochemical studies to explore the metabolic potential of these organisms.
