Abstract
The sclerotium of Polyporus mylittae Cke & Mass. is unusual in its large size, alveolate structure, and self-sufficiency in fruiting. The structure is described as composed of rind, white strata, and translucent material. The tissues are analysed in terms of the microscopic structure of their constituent hyphae, of which three types are recognized: thin-walled, thick-walled, and layered. The significance of these types in their contribution to fruiting is shown. The layered hyphae contribute as producers of an extrahyphal nutritional gel, rich in carbohydrate. The thin-walled hyphae correspond to the generative hyphae and the thick-walled to the binding hyphae of the fruit body.
