Abstract
The fungi present in the raw humus under black spruce in the boreal forest of Quebec were studied by the soil-washing technique. Penicillium, Pullularia, and yeasts together comprised 75-94% of isolates from the washings and 42-77% of those from the washed particles. There was evidence that Penicillium spp. existed to a significant extent in the mycelial state. Aspergillus and Trichoderma spp. were absent or rare. The possible ecological significance of the high incidence of Pullularia and yeasts is discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
