Abstract
Corings of sediments taken at different depths from African lakes show that (1) in such sites many kinds of fungi occur universally; (2) in sediments, conditions are favorable for spore preservation for thousands of years; (3) the identification of such fungi is attended with enormous difficulty; (4) fungus spores, just as in the case with pollen, constitute documentary evidence of vegetational changes; and (5) the results of analyses of spores occurring in sediments might be used to supplement pollen analyses.
