Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect H. irregulare formed fruiting bodies 1.9-fold more frequently when spatially overlapping with H. annosum than alone in inoculated pine logs.
- Observation All fruiting bodies were morphologically identical regardless of their formation location, despite differing fruiting rates.
- Mechanism The authors infer that increased fruiting rate is likely to increase spore production.
- Observation Hybrids containing nuclei of both species and the H. irregulare mitochondrion were favored.
- Observation Hybrids with both nuclei from one species and mitochondria from the other were less frequent.
