SUMMARYThe pattern of presence and abundance of fungi on needles and twigs of old-growth Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga mensiesii) in the Oregon Cascades exhibits a well-defined successional sequence which was documented by counting thalli and fruiting bodies under a dissecting microscope. Detailed information on the distribution of fungi in this habitat suggests that their mode of nutrition has yet to be elucidated.
