Meria laricis invaded needles of Larix X eurolepis at the feeding sites of Adelges spp and caused pre‐mature needle fall. The position of the feeding site on the needle determined the time of their fall. Among other fungi isolated from needles attacked by aphids were Cladosporium herbarum, Lophodermitim laricinum, Aureobasidium pullulans, Stereum sp., Thyssanophora penicillioides, Botrytis cinerea and Epicoccum sp. The feeding sites on the needles, the remaining unattacked parts of the needles and the naturally senescent needles were found to be colonized by different fungi at different times.
