In the study reported here, many other insects were found to be asso- ciated with naturally occurring fungus mats. From October, 1952, through July, 1953, at least 40 species of insects belong- ing to at least ZZ genera of 19 families (exclusive of Collembola) were collected from mycelial mats on wilt-killed oak trees in Illinois, tables 13 a

Insects associated with mats are not only potential vectors of oak wilt, but they play other roles that affect the life.
