Abstract
In the Basidiomycete Panus tigrinus var. tigrinus, continuous fluorescent light results in increased production of numbers of abnormal fruiting bodies. With progressively longer dark periods before continuous light there is a decrease of abnormal fruits. The total number of fruiting bodies remains relatively constant regardless of light/dark treatment. However, no fruiting occurs under conditions of total darkness. Differentiation between normal and abnormal fruiting bodies begins after light exposure, and the normal primordia develop a dark pigmentation near the tip. Such pigmentation is believed to be significant in inducing normal basidiocarps.
