Abstract

The stromata of the Sclerotiniaceae, whether of the sclerotial or substratal types, have become important in an understanding of the relationships among the genera of this family, as Whetzel (1945) has pointed out. Natural substrata have, for the most part, been used for the study of these stromata by various workers, but these offer one prime difficulty in comparisons of different genera or even different species of the same genus: a critical comparison is impossible when both fungi are unable to colonize the same natural substratum. The following technique was devised in order to overcome this difficulty, and to provide the answers to other, related problems.
