Fungi were isolated from emerged adults and their galleries collected from four populations. In total, 2089 fungal isolates including 42 species, were obtained. Penicillium sp. 1 and Geosmithia sp. 1 were the most commonly isolated fungi from beetles (49% and 41% of beetles respectively). Geosmithia sp. 1 species was the dominant species in P. bidentatus galleries with a frequency of occurrence of 57.9%. Hormonema dematioides was the second most abundant fungus in gallery systems (17.1% of wood samples). Two of the isolated Geosmithia species were previously undescribed. Pityogenes bidentatus also vectored three ophiostomatoid species: Ophiostoma minus, O. piceae and Graphium sp. 'W'. These species were occasionally isolated from beetles and their galleries, suggesting a non-specific relationship.10aPityogenes bidentatus1 aJankowiak, R.1 aRossa, R.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/associations-between-pityogenes-bidentatus-and-fungi-young-managed-scots-pine-stands-poland
