A Simple Technique for producing Fruit Bodies of Wood-destroying Basidiomycetes

Abstract

IN attempts to identify some of the many basidiomycete cultures isolated in our investigations of decay, we have tested a number of methods and have found that described here of the greatest value. It produces relatively large, identifiable fruit bodies from cultures representing a wide range of genera and families, and it has given consistent results in the hands of a number of workers, is not laborious, and requires no special equipment or materials.
