Ship-timber beetles (Coleoptera: Lymexylidae) are associated with wood-inhabiting fungi. The female adults of the genusElateroidespossess fungus-carrying organs (so-called mycetangia) at the ovipositor and deposit fungal symbionts of the genusAlloascoideaonto wood during oviposition. The larvae grow by feeding on the fungi proliferating on the walls of tunnels that the larvae made in wood. Thus, in the fungus-growing mutualism practiced byElateroidesspecies, it has been considered that the beetles’ partners areAlloascoideafungi. However, to date, lymexylid-associated fungal communities have been poorly documented. Here, I report thatE. dermestoidesoriginating from Japan harbored at least nine fungal species. When microbial isolation was conducted from mycetangia of five female adults ofE. dermestoides, colonies of filamentous fungi and yeasts were recovered. DNA analyses revealed that they wereCandida boleticola,Cosmospora berkeleyana,Kuraishia floccosa, and undescribed fungi of the generaAlloascoidea,Ambrosiozyma,Ca. mesenterica-relatedCandida,Ca. palmyrensis-relatedCandida,Cyberlindnera, andOgataea. Of those,Alloascoideasp.,Cyberlindnerasp., andOgataeasp. were frequently isolated (80–100%), while the others showed low isolation rates, suggesting that these three fungal species are closely associated withE. dermestoides. The findings strongly suggest that multiple fungal species includingAlloascoideaare involved in the life history of lymexylids.
