Abstract
Atmospheric humidity can be controlled by quantitative and qualitative chemical means, and by physical methods involving continuous and intermittent vaporization. A compilation and critical review of these methods is given, together with hints for their practical application in culture studies of fungi. Several new pieces of apparatus are described and factors affecting their accuracy are discussed.Keywords
