| Abstract: | By using different techniques and media, microfungi were isolated from cadavers of the cave cricket Troglophilus neglectus,
collected on the walls of a Slovenian cave. The isolated mycobiota was consistently different for adult and larval stages
of T. neglectus cadavers. Fungi isolated with the highest frequency from the larval stage were represented by five different
species of the genus Mucor, the prevailing one being a newly described species, M. troglophilus. The dominating fungus isolated
from the adult stage was the well-known fungal entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana. The other isolated fungi were mainly primary
and secondary saprotrophic colonizers.
