Abstract
THE absence of starch from the tissues of the fungi has been generally considered as correlated with their inability to form carbohydrate food material from the CO2 of the atmosphere, and for a long time it was considered that such carbonaceous reserve materials as they possessed existed only, or at any rate chiefly, in the form of fatty or oily bodies. Within comparatively recent years it has been shown by Errera and other observers that this does not represent the whole of the facts, and that though starch is absent, a very nearly allied body, glycogen, replaces it. The work under notice is a record of some very careful researches, carried out at the Botanical Institute at Brussels, to ascertain the true nature of this glycogen, and whether it is identical or no with the glycogen found in the liver and muscles of many animals.
