The distribution of invasive moss  Campylopus introflexus  (Hedw.) Brid. may have negative influence on natural restoration of plant cover in peatlands due to the accumulation of heavy decomposing residues and suppression of the growth of microorganisms in peat. Species composition of fungal communities and seasonal succession under mosses  C. introflexus  and  Polytrichum strictum,  vascular plant  Calluna vulgaris  and bare peat were studied in two naturally regenerating disturbed peatlands in Lithuania. Cultivable fungi were isolated from peat and enumerated by applying the serial dilution plate technique. A total of 66 species of fungi ascribed to 21 genera (among these 30 species from 13 genera under moss  C. introflexus ) were identified. Fungus species of the genera  Penicillium ,  Trichoderma, Mortierella  and  Paecilomyces  dominated. The highest diversity of fungal species was found in Laukėsa under  Calluna vulgaris.  Differences in the structure of fungal communities were found in Mūšos Tyrelis in autumn and in Laukėsa in spring. Significant differences in species diversity under various plants were obtained only in summer. The Gleason species diversity index for peat under  C. introflexus  was not very high (1.77–2.58) in different seasons. Fungal species composition under moss  C. introflexus  did not show pronounced characteristic peculiarities compared to other plants and was similar to that in bare peat. The obtained data are important for the prediction of fungal community succession in peatlands and biodegradation level of plant residues.
