Fungal community composition was shaped by host species identity, tree richness, host mycorrhizal type and the combination of mycorrhizal types at the plot level.

Thirty-three of positive trees hosted positive arthropods whereas in six of them arthropods resulted negative. In addition, for six trees, positive samples from arthropods were not associated with positive arboreal samples.

The present study showed that ants are potential vehicles for <em>C. neoformans</em> although the frequency of which they enter in contact with the fungus is low.
