June, 1955 
As field trips to the oak wilt areas were 
made only every 2 weeks, many mats that 
were found during the summer were al- 
ready in the more advanced stages of de- 
cline when first seen. 
Mycelial mats that developed on trees 
in March, April, and May as a result of

stimulation by wounds made through bark 
followed essentially the same rate of de- 
cline as typical mats produced in these 
months. Mats that formed on bark pieces 
on the forest floor dried rapidly, and some 
of them disappeared entirely within 2 
weeks.

species of insects were found in the 10-month period October, 1952, through July, 1953. Figures 
within parentheses indicate the numbers of mats examined.
