On five localities in vallies Krížna, Koprová and Furkotská (High Tatra Mts.) we investigated the species structure of soil microscopic fungi and the similarity of mycocenosis. The arenic podzol and podzolic ranker soils were studied. The soils had low to very low acid reaction and very low content of organic matter. In the global number of isolated soil microscopic fungi species (48), the cosmopolitan genus Penicillium of the family Moniliaceae was dominantly represented. The species of the family Mucoraceae were suppressed as the result of the soil quality decreasing, which reflects the degradation of the quality of the whole environment in High Tatra Mts. The highest index of similarity – S = 0.6 – was proved between the localities in the neighboring vallies.
