A world review of fungi, yeasts, and slime molds in caves
International Journal of Speleology, 2013 We provide a review of fungi, yeasts, and slime molds that have been found in natural solution caves and mines worldwide. Such habitats provide frequent roost sites for bats, and in eastern North America the environmental conditions that support white ...
