RESULTS OF INTERFERTILITY TESTS ON SOME SPECIES OF HYMENOMYCETES

Abstract

Tests on 26 heterothallic species of Hymenomycetes have shown that Lenzites abietina (Bull. ex Fr.) Fr., Odontia uda (Fr.) Bres., Peniophora phlebioides Jackson & Dearden, Phlebia merismoides Fr., Polyporus galactinus Berk., P. resinosus Schrad. ex Fr., Poria albipellucida Baxter, P. cinerascens (Bres.) Sacc., P. notata Overh., Radulum casearium (Morgan) Lloyd, Trametes heteromorpha (Fr.) Bres., and T. variiformis Peck have the bipolar type of interfertitity and that Favolus alveolaris (DC. ex Fr.) Quél., Fomes ellisianus And., F. fraxinophilus (Peck) Sacc., Polyporus albellus Peck, P. anceps Peck, P. compactus Overh., P. fumosus Pers. ex Fr., P. hirsutus Wulf. ex Fr. (with possible exceptions), P. pargamenus Fr., P. pubescens Schum. ex Fr., P. supinus Sw. ex Fr., P. volvatus Peck, Poria eupora (Karst.) Cooke, and P. tenuis var. pulchella (Schw.)
