Considering the constant temperature and humidity, absence of light, and mostly the absence or limited amount of organic material in caves, caves are a very appropriate environment for living organisms. The microfungal community in caves is very specific, and caves can frequently be a source of very interesting species including relicts of fossilized microfungal spores (Rutherford & Huang, 1994). Long-term viable microfungal spores can be found in various cave substrates, such as cave air and sediments, but also in substrates accumulated by bats and other mammals visiting caves (marten, dormouse, etc.) or created by cave dwelling invertebrates (earthworm casts, arthropods faeces). The aim of our study was to estimate microfungal diversity in various cave substrates in several caves of the Slovak Karst National Park (Nováková, 2004, 2005). Pidoplitchkoviella terricola (Ascomycetes, Xylariales) was isolated by Kirilenko from the rhizosphere of Quercus robur in Ukraine (CBS Fungi database) and until now it was known only from this one isolate. In 2002 this microfungal species was isolated by us from earthworm casts in the Domica Cave.
