Subalpine fungi and snowbanks
Cooke WB. 1955. Subalpine fungi and snowbanks. Ecology. 36(1):124-130
"The study of the environment, especially the microenvironment, of the macromycetes (larger fungi) of the soil has received little attention. Persons describing the fungi of a region, or writing descriptions of new or interesting species of fungi, indicate something of the habitat but nothing of the actual conditions under which the fungus in question was growing. The present notes were prepared as a result of several seasons of field observations. They are presented in their present imperfect form in the hope that some student of biotic relationships may be interested in the problems involved and have the time and opportunity to subject them to further study."
