“…The number of microfungi increased but the moisture soil decreased. Many researchers have reported that there has been a close correlation between temperature and total number of microfungi (DIXON 1928, TRESNER 1954, WAKSMAN 1944. While soil temperature and organic composition increases, activity of microfungi reaches the highest level as the drying and warming up of the surface of soil approaches the lowest level.…”

This study involves the isolation and identification of soil borne fungi from different altitudes of Iyidere-Ikizdere vicinity in Rize, Turkey. The qualitative and quantitative fungal composition of the soil of Iyidere-Ikizdere vicinity was surveyed seasonally during a year (between summer 2003 and spring 2004). The soil samples were collected from 10 different locations. Some physical and chemical properties of the soil samples were studied. Soil samples were observed to have the proper pH levels (pH 4.00-6.75) for the growth of microfungi. By using a soil dilution technique, the mycological analysis of 40 soil samples were studied at 25 cm depth. The number of microfungi ranged from 2,000-160,000 CFU g(-1). 249 different microfungi belonging to 15 genera were isolated. 45 of the isolates were Mycelia Sterilia. Penicillium, Aspergillus, Trichoderma and Fusarium were the most abundant genera (26.8%, 14.8%, 9.6% and 8.4%, respectively). Penicillium phialosporum, Penicillium trzebinskianum and Gliocladium virens were reported for the first time in Turkey.

“…Relative abundance of ligninolytic fungi is represented as the volume below the bold lines, which is further divided into ascomycetes (darkly-shaded portion below the dotted lines) and basidiomycetes (lightly-shaded portion above the dotted lines). The decomposition stages in axis b represent the processes of transformation from freshly fallen leaves on the surface of the L layer to near-humus materials in the F layer ondary vegetation development (Tresner et al 1954;Wicklow and Whittingham 1974;Countess et al 1998). Fruiting bodies of component-unrestricted basidiomycetes have commonly been used as indicators of the occurrence of ligninolytic fungi in successional series.…”

Advances in our understanding of the decomposition processes in forest ecosystems over the past three decades have demonstrated the importance of lignin as a regulating factor in the decomposition of leaf litter. Consequently, increasingly more attention is being focused on the ecology of fungi associated with lignin decomposition. The aim of this review is to provide a critical summary of the ecology of ligninolytic fungi inhabiting leaf litter and forest floor materials. The review focuses on the following aspects of ligninolytic fungi: the taxonomic and functional diversity of ligninolytic fungi, the outcomes of interactions between ligninolytic fungi and other organisms, the activity and abundance of ligninolytic fungi measured by the production of bleached leaves and humus, the activity of ligninolytic enzymes in soil environments, the substratum and seral succession, spatial and temporal patterns in both mycelial abundance and species distribution, and the effect of environmental factors such as nitrogen deposition and global environmental changes on ligninolytic fungi. This review integrates the ecology, diversity, and activity of ligninolytic fungi into the context of an ecosystem in order to provide an understanding of the roles of ligninolytic fungi in decomposition processes.

“…Chaudhary and Sachar (1934), Saksena (1955), Miller et al (1957), Saksena and Sarbhaoy (1964) studied seasonal variation in forest soil fungi and pointed out seasonal changes in soil mycoflora and fungal population, which drastically differ from season to season in a particular soil. Tresner et al (1954), Miller et al (1957), Mishra (1966), Rama Rao (1969), Persiani et al (1998) and many others also observed seasonal variations in forest soil mycoflora. Dwivedi (1966) and Dkhar and Mishra (1987) discussed seasonal variations of fungal population in some soil types and concluded that the changes in soil,organic contents, water holding capacity, temperature and pH of respective season were the probable factors associated with fungal population.…”

KEYWORDS Forest soils, soil Fungi, seasonal distributionSoil is a rich habitat for the growth of microorganisms than other microbial habitats. Among these microorganisms, fungi are one of the dominant groups present in soil. Fungi live, multiply and die or disintegrate in the soil and thus they provide rich organic matter, which could be recycled as plant nutrition. Thus developed humus complex is a natural fertilizer mixed with soil and plays a very important role in the composition of soil.An exhaustive work has been done on the taxonomy of forest soil fungi in India. Saksena (1955), Bakshi and Singh (1956), Saksena and Sarbhoy (1964), Shrivastava and Bhargava (1966), Deshpande and Deshpande (1966), Gangawane and Deshpande (1972), Kamal and Bhargava (1972, 1973), Manoharachary (1977), Madhusudan Rao and Manoharachary (1981, Manoharachary et al. (1989, 1990), Venugopal Rao et al. (1984, Reddy et al. (1987), Mohanty and Panda (1994) etc. have studied the soil fungi of different forests. Very little information is available regarding biodiversity and taxoecology of soil fungi of Jalgaon District. Hence the present investigation was undertaken for three years, 2001, 2002 and 2003 STUDY AREAPal Forest: It is located in Raver Taluka and 95km away from Jalgaon city. The soil is pinkish-white in colour. It harbours deciduous type of forest, situated on the tableland in the hills of Satpuda dominated by plant Hardwickia pinnata Roxb.Manudevi Forest: It is located in Yawal Taluka and 45km away from Jalgaon city. The soil is pink in colour. The locality has special importance because of a sacred place with a temple of "Manubai Devi" situated in this forest. This is also a part of Satpura hills where the forest is dominated by Tectona grandis L. METHODOLOGYPhysical analysis of the soil like colour, texture, pH, salinity, maximum water holding capacity were studied. Chemical analysis included organic carbon, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium etc.Soil samples were collected from both the forests, at the depth of 6in during all the three seasons -winter, summer and rainy season for the three years. These soil samples were collected in sterile bottles and were inoculated within 24 hours on nutrient media (Czapek Dox Agar and Lactose Yeast Extract Agar) by Dilution Plate Method (Waksman, 1916) and brought to pure culture for further studies.The semipermanant slides were prepared for identification, which was done using relevant literature. Camera lucida drawings and photographs were taken.
