S ummary The paper is the second of a series which is dealing with investigations into the ecology of the larger fungi. It represents a somewhat detailed examination of the fungus flora of a plateau beech wood in relation to ( a ) vegetation and ( b ) substrate. In the first case, distribution of fungi in the three subtypes—No field layer, Oxalis societies and Mercurialis societiesis recorded and discussed. The second section deals with distribution in relation to soil types, humus and leaf litter, with notes on hydrogen‐ion concentration. There is a brief discussion of results.
