Abstract
The coloration of mycelial blocks ofTricholoma bakamatsutake was examined in conspicuous colonies of the fungus in the field. Grayish white and gray mycelial blocks contained higher percentages of sounder stages of mycorrhizas and of root tips with attached mycelia of this fungus than dark gray and black ones. The percentage of sounder stages was higher between July and December than in the other months in grayish white mycelial blocks. A survey over time of the grayish white mycelial blocks at 113 points revealed that one point maintained gray after 77 mo.
