In the investigation concerning the microflora of 60 samples, collected from the »saunas» (bath house) from various parts of Finland, and consisting of shavings from the floors and platforms with benches, it was established that many of the samples were infected by nematodes; nematode-destroying fungus species, belonging to Fungi imperfecti were established simultaneously. Of these, Arthrobotrys superba has been previously reported in Finnish literature; new in Finland are the following ten fungi: Nematoctonus concurrens, N. leiosporus, Cephalosporium balanoides, Harposporium lilliputanum, H. oxycoracum, Dactylaria candida, Arthrobotrys oligospora, A. dactyloides, Dactylella brochopaga and D. gephyropaga.
