Traditionally treated bryophytes with 24,000 species noted in the world and among them 956 Polish species remain a largely unstudied reservoir of undescribed fungi species. About 400 obligate bryophilous fungi (mainly ascomycetes) have been described till now. The number is still very Iow, considering the fact that every year about 1,500 new fungi species are discovered. Therefore bryophytes deserve to arouse mycologists interest as a potentially rich source (reservoir) of undescribed species. In the manuscript we present a brief review of the current knowledge of bryophilous microfungi as well as a prospect for research conducted on these species, especially the endophytic ones.
