The diets of a fungal specialist, northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus (Shaw, 1801)), and a dietary generalist,\udlodgepole chipmunk (Neotamias speciosus (Merriam, 1890)), were examined in the old-growth, mixed-conifer forest\udat the Teakettle Experimental Forest in California’s southern Sierra Nevada. Spores of fungi were identified from fecal\udpellets collected from both species during spring and summer of 1999 through 2002. Frequency of fungi in the diets of\udboth squirrel species was consistently high across all seasons and years of study. Overall, G. sabrinus diets contained\udabout 30% greater richness and evenness of fungal taxa than N. speciosus diets. There were no seasonal differences in\udrichness and evenness of fungal taxa in squirrel diets. Richness of fungal taxa in diets was positively correlated with\udhypogeous sporocarp biomass and rainfall from June through August for N. speciosus but not for G. sabrinus. Dietary\udoverlap between G. sabrinus and N. speciosus was high with respect to the most frequently consumed fungal taxa, although\udGautieria and Gastroboletus were consumed in greater proportions by G. sabrinus than N. speciosus. Our results\udindicate that in the southern Sierra Nevada both G. sabrinus and N. speciosus were frequent consumers of a similar, diverse\udassemblage of fungal taxa and that consumption was proportional to seasonal differences in availability. For the\udmore strongly mycophagist G. sabrinus, however, diet had a greater proportion of select fungal taxa and avoidance of less\uddesirable taxa
