Abstract
Mushrooms of the ascomycetous fungus Morchella conica Fr. were observed at a density as high as 2860 kg/ha in a Pinus banksiana Lamb. stand in May 1991 at the Petawawa National Forestry Institute, Chalk River, Ontario. This forest stand had been treated with prescribed fire the previous fall. Mushrooms were found singly or in clusters within a radius of 2-3 m around dead Pinus banksiana trees but not around dead specimens of Pinus resinosa Ait. and Pinus strobus L.
