Abstract

Some consideration has been given in previous literature to the behavior of fungi in mixed cultures, but this has been sufficiently reviewed by Harder,' whose work along the line seems to be the most complete. His conclusions, however, are based merely upon observations on the rate of growth and color production in the medium and mycelium. The purpose of his work was to determine whether the inhibition or stimulation of growth, as the case may be, might not be the result of the; depletion of the available carbohydrates in the medium or a change in the hydrogen ion concentration. In the present work the following fungi were used: Lenzites vialis Pk., Merulius pinastri (Fr.) Burt, Daedalea, quercina (L.) Fr., Trametes Peckii Kalchbr., Pleurotus sapidus Kalchbr., *Merulius lacrymans (Wulf.) Fr., Lentinus -lepideus-.Fr., Daedalea confragosa (Bolt.) Fr., Coniophora cerebella Pers., Polystictus versicolor (L.) Fr., Isaria sp., Polyporus lucidus (Leys.) Fr., Polystictus hirsutus Fr., Asperit-lus 'glaucus,2 A. niger Van Tieg., A. fumigatus Brizi, A. versicolor Tiraboschi, and A. Sydowi Bainier and Sartory. All the fungi were grown upon 2 per cent potato agar, plates prepared in the manner previously described.3 After growth
