Yeasts from the fruit bodies of macromycetes

Fruit bodies of mushrooms provide a steady habitat for yeasts in forest eco systems. In general number of yeasts decomposing the fruit bodies is higher then in forest Litter. Also seasonal fluctuations in number of yeasts take place depending on moisture content in liner. Taxonomic structure of basid iomycetous yeasts in fruit bodies and liner is approximately the same, whil e ascomycetous yeasts are more commonly found in the old fruit bodies alrea dy partially decomposed by insect larvae. Macromycetes contribute remarkabl y to the structure of litter microbial complexes by bringing yeasts that ha d developed in those fruit bodies.
