Abstract
Airborne fungi on gravity plates were surveyed simultaneously at 8 institutions during the period of 1978 through 1980. They were located throughout Japan from Sapporo of the northern district to Nagasaki of the southern district. Afterwards, those were investigated only at Sagamihara, in Tokyo metropolitan area, during the period from 1983 to 1986. There were several common dominants including Cladosporium, Alternaria, Penicillium and Epicoccum throughout the country. Other dominants, which were more or less consistently found with some fluctuations from year to year and with a geographical dependence, included the following strains: Aureobasidium, Arthinium, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, Nigrospora, Periconia, Pithomyces, Poecilomyces, Phoma and Trichoderma.
