flows year-round; km29 is ephemeral. These were<br />

recovered each month over 1 year. 236 spp. <strong>of</strong> fungi were<br />

found. Importantly, after 1 year decomposition had barely<br />

begun. Using the same sites the work was extended to<br />

examine other woods and to allow for recovery <strong>of</strong> up to 10<br />

yr. Work after 1 yr allows direct comparison with the<br />

preliminary study. 5 spp. were used: Buchanania latifolia,<br />

Mangifera caloneura, Sindora siamensis, Stereospermum<br />
