At the zone over 800 m above the sea level on Mt. Hiko (Hikosan), there grow many beech-trees, Fagus crenata Blume, on the dried and decayed wood of which a fungus, Lampteromyces japonicus (Kawam.) Sing. is commonly found. In association with this fungus, interestingly, many insects belonging to miscellaneous families can be seen. It is of interest, moreover, to observe even a kind of food-chain in such a narrow space as fungi. None the less only a few record of the insects related with the fungi have been reported. In this paper we recorded 51 species of insects belonging to three orders which were collected from the dried and decayed fungi. We will report in succession a check list of insects collected from the fungi in different seasons
