Abstract
The biochemistry and the physiology of the higher fungi has recently
begun to attract attention among biologists. Extensive studies on
fruit-body formation in Schizophyllum commune by Wessels (1965) afforded
valuable information on this problem and in Agaricus, observations have
been made primarily on the hormone control of fruit-body development, and the effects of different wavelength light on the precess
of growth. Physiological and biochemical studies
on the process of fruit-body formation and development in Hymenomycetes,
especially of those fungi whose fruit-bodies are differentiated into a
stipe and pileus, have seldom been reported.
The present investigation was carried out using Coprinus macrorhizus
as a test organism in an attempt to investigate the process of
stipe elongation and test the efficacy of a shadowgraph apparatus for
the quantitative measurement of short term growth in fungal tissue.
