%X The fungal population of two podzolized heath soils, one with and one without a hardpan, is characterized by a marked contrast in the species distribution of the genus Mortierella Linnemann.The dominant species in the hardpan soil is Mortierella ramanrniana (M&ouml;ll) Linnemann, but when the pan is lacking it is replaced by Mortierella nana Linnemann. This is not a local effect, for an analysis of results from comparable English soils gives a parallel result. It can be stated that the dominance of one or other of these species is indicative of certain soil types.
