in general are very under-studied, aquatic even less, are at the bottom.
We found fungi in every possible habitat on the Earth, so yeah, I'd bet they are not scarce underwater.

Most chytridiomycota (a major taxon) are aquatic and parasitic, but sweet water mainly.

There is a website that collects resources about marine fungi:

marinefungi.org/

I'm no expert on this, I study terrestrial fungi and still just as a master student, but if you have some curiosity feel free to ask, worst case we can laugh at our common ignorance =D
