Synopsis

The meagre history of the study of the fungi of birchwoods in Britain is offered as an introduction to more recent studies in the British Isles and in continental Europe. Four categories of fungi (parasites, suspected mycorrhizals and lignicolous and humicolous saprophytes) are recognized and discussed. Examples of the most frequently found species-associations are given in relation to environmental factors.
