Mycelial fungi from cryopegs (tundra, Kolyma lowland, Russia) have been studied. The use of media with different amounts of salt and cultivation at 4 and 25 °C allowed us to isolate filamentous fungi assigned to 11 species. The micromycetes of genus Geomyces were found most often. The total amount of fungi reached 1–4×102 CFU ml−1 of water. The extreme conditions of the cryopegs – the high salinity of the water (150–200 g l−1) and the constant low temperatures (average annual temperature is from −9 to −11 °C) – might serve as a model for the conditions of interplanetary environments.
