Abstract
Adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate has been found to affect the normal development of fruit bodies in the basidiomyceteSchizophyllum commune. At a concentration of 10-3 M, cyclic AMP causes many fruit bodies to cease morphogenesis at an early stage. Those fruit bodies which continue development have either no gills or abnormal gills. A pronounced effect was also observed on the fruit bodies carrying a dominant mutant.
