**7. Conclusions**

Relationships involving bryophilous Agaricomycetes fungi and mosses are not yet well known. These associations are being studied around the world by optical and scanning electron microscopy, *in vitro* culture, sequencing of DNA, and phylogenetics analysis. In Brazil, a total of 33 species from four orders of Agaricomycetes were reported on bryophytes. Although much has been discovered about these interactions around the world, in Brazil these relationships are still not well characterized, either

for lack of cooperation between mycologists and bryologists or for other reasons. Most of the Agaricomycetes species reported growing with mosses in Brazil occur in environments with high humidity and high altitude. However, the real influence of the environment on these associations has not yet been identified. Thus, it emphasizes the need for further studies on the interactions between bryophytes and Agaricomycetes, making it possible to better understand their ecology and taxonomy.
