| Summary: | The phenology of 9 species of Basidiomycotina and 1 species of Ascomycotina in the subtropical forests of the Botanical Garden at Xalapa is described. Most species had their main fructification period in the rainy season from June to October. For early species the fructification period started in April, whereas for late species this period extended to December. Fructification in August was much lower than that in June-July and September, coinciding with a period of lower precipitation. The entomopathogenic Cordyceps entomorrhiza mainly fruited in late autumn, probably in accordance with the biology of its host.
