Abstract
During an investigation into the occurrence of fungi in soil partially sterilized by steam, it was found that whereas many fungi were easily killed, other species had resistant spores and survived a short steam treatment. Many of these species were rarely recorded from untreated soil, being apparently suppressed by the abundant development of fast-growing fungi. Ascomycetes in particular were isolated from soils after a short steam treatment, and several species, including Aspergillus fischeri, Penicillium luteum and P. baarnense , were found to be more abundant and widespread in soils than hitherto recorded.
