Summary The qualitative and quantitative nature of microfungi in soil after burning was studied for seven months. The numbers of fungal species and their colonies in soil were reduced immediately after burning but returned to their normal state after about a couple of months. Species of Aspergillus and Penicillium were the first to colonize the burnt soil. Trichoderma viride appeared after two months. Penicillium spp. decreased consistently with time whereas T. viride followed the reverse path. Several other species appeared in due course as and when ecological conditions became suitable for them. re]19760720
