Abstract
Experimental studies were carried out to investigate seasonal effects on the fungal succession in the interior or decaying pine needles. At different seasons, the needles fallen for a short period were collected and marked, then placed on the surface of the O horizon in a pine forest. The needles were removed at intervals and their interior fungal communities were examined by using a surface sterilization technique. The successions of interior colonizers observed on the fallen needles at four different times are roughly divided into three groups based on the composition of species colonizing from litter. Seasonal shifts in the species combination were discussed with climatic and biotic factors. As a result, temperature at the surface of litter appeared to be a cardinal factor contributing to these seasonal changes in the succession of interior colonizers.
