Abstract

Aero-aquatic fungi inhabiting a small woodland pond exhibited markedly increased sporulation during the fall season. As aero-aquatic fungi produce buoyant propagules only, this allows them to infect autumn shed leaves falling into the pond. Abundant sporulation in the spring following the breakup of ice cover was also observed.
