Abstract

Observations of the mycoflora of beech bark infested with Cryptococcus fagisuga suggested that Nectria coccinea can colonise sites on and in the outer tissues, and that invasion of imer bark could later develop. Although these sites harboured fungi antagonistic to N. coccinea, experiments suggested that it is well adapted under some circumstances to escape serious competition.
