根据最近的实地调查，提供了四种附属蘑菇珊瑚物种（蕈科）的清单，并附有其在新加坡水域中丰富度的注释。其中一个物种 Podabacia motuporensis Veron，1990 年被记录为新加坡新物种，迄今为止是其分布范围内的最西端。尽管在新加坡的早期研究中观察并收集了标本，但由于该物种与甲壳纲甲壳动物（Pallas，1766）相似且还不为人所知，因此可能未被注意到。另一种是 Podabacia kunzmanni 新物种，对科学来说是一个新物种。该物种的标本通常非常小。因此，它们很容易与其他 Podabacia 物种混淆，但也与 Sandalolitha 属的幼年珊瑚混淆。 1995 年，首次在西苏门答腊岛巴东附近严重受损的珊瑚礁上观察到 Podabacia kunzmanni，随后（也是在 1995 年）在雅加达附近的珊瑚礁上观察到了 Podabacia kunzmanni。最值得注意的是，这种新物种相对较小，似乎在死珊瑚和碎石上数量最多，周围很少或没有其他珊瑚覆盖，特别是在压力下的珊瑚礁上。活着的小珊瑚与死去的微栖息地形成鲜明对比。
Based on recent fieldwork, a checklist of four attached mushroom coral species (Fungiidae) is given with annotations on their abundance in Singapore waters. One species, Podabacia motuporensis Veron, 1990, is recorded as new to Singapore, so far the westernmost locality within its distribution range. Although specimens were observed and collected during earlier studies in Singapore, this species probably remained unnoticed due to its resemblance to P. crustacea (Pallas, 1766) and because it is not yet well-known. Another one, Podabacia kunzmanni new species, is new to science. Specimens of this species are usually very small. Therefore, they can easily be confused with other Podabacia species, but also with attached juvenile corals of the genus Sandalolitha. Podabacia kunzmanni was observed for the first time in 1995 on the heavily damaged reefs off Padang, West Sumatra, and later on (also in 1995) a reef off Jakarta. It is most remarkable that this new species is relatively small and appears to be most abundant on dead coral and on rubble, with little or no other coral cover around, especially on reefs under stress. Alive, the small corals stand out very clearly in contrast to their dead micro-habitat.
