Abstract

A study was made of factors influencing the formation and development of stroma-like structures in cultures of a sterile low-temperature basidiomycete. The stromata grow from the surface of the colony at various inclinations, usually concentrically around and close to the inoculum plug. They are club-shaped, dull white in color, and composed of a dense mass of interwoven hyphae. Most extensive development occurred on a malt – yeast extract agar medium. Light, which retards mycelial growth, greatly stimulated stroma formation, and development was also influenced by temperature, pH, and composition of the medium.
