The authors isolated yeast-like microorganisms from the surface of fruitbodies of higher fungi collected in the forests of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands and the Brno Uplands in 1962. Among 119 isolated strains, 12 were identified as Aureobasidium pullulans. Of the remaining 107 strains, 48.59% belonged to Candida, 29.9% to Torulopsis, 18.69% to Rhodotorula, and 2.8% to sporogenic yeasts. These organisms exhibit features typical of primitive species.
