“…Basidiospores are extremely sensitive to desiccation. When exposed to unfavorable condi tions, such as low humidity or direct sunlight, they quickly lose viability (Spaulding and Rathbun-Gravatt, 1926;MacLachlan, 1935;Blank and Leathers, 1963;Gould andShaw, 1969: Snow, 1968a). Excessive free water is also generally inhibitory to germination (Desprez-Loustau.…”

“…Darkness, however, is not necessary for germination. When other conditions are favorable,light has either no effect (Yamada, 1956;Bega, 1960;Diner and Mott, 1982a;Desprez-Loustau, 1986) or only a marginal negative effect (Gould and Shaw, 1969).…”
