Abstract

During 1985-1990, the pilot study of diversity of soil cultivable microfungi in the Nízke Tatry Mts., Slovakia, was carried out. Soil samples (51 in total) were collected mainly in subalpine and alpine grasslands.

More than 70 fungal taxa were recovered: 58 taxa of ascomycetes, 12 of zygomycetes, and several types of sterile mycelia. The most frequent fungi were Penicillium melinii (in 39 % of all samples), Zygorhynchus moelleri (31 %), Penicillium lanosum (24 %), and Tolypocladium inflatum (24 %).
