Abstract: | Summary Most of the hyphae forming the medulla of the stroma of the brown rot fungi are 4–7 in diameter and contain food reserves in large vacuoles and lipid bodies. Some stromatal hyphae have very thick walls and perform a protective function. Smaller hyphae (1–2 in diameter) form a network through the medulla and their structure suggests that they initiate the growth of vegetative hyphae and spores after the stroma has passed through a period of rest. |
