Abstract
EXAMINATIONS have been made of the distribution of multiple-allelomorphic mating-type factors (m.t.f.) carried by basidiospores and produced by adjacent carpophores of higher fungi. The spatial distribution patterns found have been interpreted to provide evidence concerning the disposition of the mycelium giving rise to the sporophores and its genetieal homogeneity or heterogeneity1.
