Summary
Sexual reproduction in Agrocybe aegerita is controlled by the tetrapolar mechanism of homogenic incompatibility. The two mating factors, A and B, are nonequivalent and exhibit functional specificity. Fourteen distinct A factors and 17 distinct B factors were identified in 17 natural isolates from Europe and Japan.
