Abstract
The microfungal community of an andosol, under an acid beech forest located in a zone of the Province of Navarra (Spain) characterized by a temperate climate and high rainfall was studied. Mycelial length, number of spores and fungal biomass were eslimated by the agar-film technique. The number of fungal propagules were estimated by plate counting. There was a pronounced decrease of fungal propagules and mycelial biomass with soil depth; the highest values were obtained in the spring and the autumn. Seasonal variations were attenuated with increasing depth. In autumn the leaves of the A 00 horizon contained a great number of fungal spores but there was little mycelial growth.
