Abstract
Panus stypticus (Bull.) Fries is a small coriaceous agaric which grows usually on the wood of deciduous trees, and is found both in Europe and North America. Although alike morphologically, a striking difference exists between the American and European forms, namely, the former is luminous and the latter is non-luminous1. Since they were known to differ in this character, a study of the two forms in relation to their pairing reactions and the method of inheritance of the factor for luminosity was undertaken.
