1 Mediterranean sponge Psammocinia sp. 2 M. maydis confrontation assay results, including the following possibilities: M. maydis or Trichoderma sp. mycoparasitism (one of the fungi is growing above the colony surface of the other) and antagonism—none of the two fungi can extend above the other, and their growth was stopped in the meeting point with the other fungus, usually producing a dark line.
