Abstract
Homocaryotic mycelia obtained from spores of Laccaria bicolor S238 have been compared in vitro for their efficiency in solubilizing poorly soluble phosphates. This could lead to genetic selection according to such criteria. However, there is very little room for improvement as the wild strain was shown to be one of the most efficient solubilizers among the strains tested. Twenty dicaryotic strains obtained by crossing the compatible homocaryons have also been compared and no clear heritability of this character has been found. The four phosphate salts used are most probably solubilized by the same mechanism which is polygenetically controlled
