SummaryTable of Contents
This volume concerns the breakdown of dead organic materials by the basidiomycetes or toadstools, one of the three major groups of fungi. Although the decomposer members of this group are ecologically and commercially of immense importance, this is the first symposium to focus on them.
Preface
Taxonomic status and ecological identity in the basidiomycetes
Production, release and dispersal of basidiospores
The role of polysaccharidase enzymes in the decay of wood by basidiomycetes
Formation and action of the ligninolytic system in basidiomycetes
The movement of Serpula lacrimans from substrate to substrate over nutritionally inert surfaces
Population structur... MORE
Ecological genetics of basidiomycete populations in decaying wood
Basidiomycete decay of standing tress
The place of basidiomycetes in the decay of wood in contact with the ground
The decay of commercial timbers
Decomposition by basidiomycetes in aquatic environments
Decomposing activity of basidiomycetes in forest litter
The colonisation of litter and wood by basidiomycetes in Finnish forests
Biomass and nutrient cycling by decomposer basidiomycetes
The role of basidiomycetes in composts: a model system for decomposition studies
Basidiomycetes as components of forest ecosystems
