Abstract
Oak leaf disks inoculated with some aquatic hyphomycetes were transferred to leaf litter in a wood to test their ability to survive under terrestrial water regimes. Of the ten species tested four could not be recovered after relatively short periods, three died out after 8 months, one after 11 months and the remaining two survived for 12 months or more. The species surviving the strongest were not those commonly reported from terrestrial sites. Naturally infected leaves from streams showed a similar response when placed on land. Metabolic activity — indicated by the invasion of adjacent leaves — was shown in only two species, and was slight in these cases. Survival was poor in leaves exposed by flood in trees beside a river and in inoculated leaf disks exposed similarly.
