Fungi can colonize most of the substrata on Earth. Honey, a sugary food produced by bees (and other insects) has been studied little in terms of its fungal diversity. We have surveyed and evaluated the presence of xerotolerant and xerophilic fungi in a set of honey bee samples collected from across Spain. From 84 samples, a total of 104 fungal strains were isolated, and morphologically and phylogenetically characterized. We identified 32 species distributed across 16 genera, most of them belonging to the ascomycetous genera Aspergillus, Bettsia, Candida, Eremascus, Monascus, Oidiodendron, Penicillium, Skoua, Talaromyces and Zygosaccharomyces. As a result of this survey, eight new taxa are proposed: i.e. the new family Helicoarthrosporaceae, two new genera, Helicoarthrosporum and Strongyloarthrosporum in Onygenales; three new species of Eurotiales, Talaromyces affinitatimellis, T. basipetosporus, and T. brunneosporus; and two new species of Myxotrichaceae, Oidiodendron mellicola, and Skoua asexualis.

蜂蜜中耐干性和耐干性真菌的多样性。

真菌可以定居地球上的大多数基底。蜂蜜，一种由蜜蜂（和其他昆虫）产生的含糖食物，就其真菌多样性而言很少被研究。我们调查并评估了从西班牙各地收集的一组蜜蜂样品中的耐干菌性和耐干菌性。从84个样品中，总共分离出104个真菌菌株，并在形态和系统发育上进行了表征。我们确定了分布在16个属中的32个物种，其中大多数属于子囊菌属，包括曲霉属，白僵菌属，念珠菌属，埃里马斯库斯属，红曲霉属，犬齿草属，青霉属，斯库亚，Talaromyces和Zygosaccharomyces。这项调查的结果是，提出了八种新的分类单元：即新的Helicoarthrosporaceae科，两个新属Helicoarthrosporum和Strongyloarthrosporum在Onygenales；欧洲雀new的三个新种，Talaromyces affinitatimellis，T。basipetosporus和T. brunneosporus；以及两个新的粘菌科物种，Oidiodendron mellicola和Skoua asexualis。
