Here, our results are in consonance with that of Xu et al. (2013) who state that the plant species as a factor does not influence greatly the composition of litter fungal community. In the present study, a Pestalotiopsis sp. appeared to be amore successful litter fungus as it was (i) present in the litter in all tree species belonging to taxonomically disparate families, (ii) dominant in the litter of many of the tree species (Fig 2 and Table 3), and (iii) dominated the overall fungal assemblage for the 30 d study (Table 4).
