Fungi are organisms with vast habitat encompasses every world parts with superior
diversification across the time, with roles differed by species within their unique
kingdom. Little to no certainty of understanding of relationship within both species
interactions, leads towards commencement of this study of fungi species isolation from
polychaetes of Morib, Selangor. The microscopic and macroscopic morphology
observation is the ultimate key of this study, in determining and as a guidance to
identify fungi species. Mostly are recognized as terrestrial species with efficient
adaptive capacity instead of genuine marine fungi where Trichoderma sp. are wholly
an aquatic species. Upon complement, species identified from isolation dubiously
reflects fungi relation in assisting polychaetes survival in their environment where
almost all adaptability divert in two ways: marine and terrestrial. Indication that fungi
isolated understanding in relation to polychaetes are severe and uncertain since
accidental introduction possibility is high within project period.
