Laboratory studies on the antagonistic properties of Scytalidium spp to Basidiomycetes with regard to biological control

IRG/WP 1130

P I Morris, D J Dickinson

This investigation was initiated to study the progress of the antagonism against various opposing species of basidiomycetes. The action of the FY strain of the Scytalidium spp isolated by Ricard and Bollen (1968) was compared with that of new isolates of Scytalidium spp against isolates of wood decaying fungi from British sites, specifically Lentinus lepideus the most common basidiomycete causing decay of creosoted Scots pine transmission poles in Britain (Cartwright and Findlay 1958)
