monokaryons tolerated 28 ◦ C (Schmidt and Moreth-Kebernik 1990), so that
probably some data in the literature concerning growth of the fungus above
27 ◦ C (Wälchli 1977) were based on monokaryons. Last, dikaryons of S. lacrymans
(and some further fungi) can be reverted to the monokaryotic stage by
cultivation at relatively high temperature and thus these cultures then also
grew above 27 ◦ C.
From the cultivation of edible mushrooms on wood (Chap. 9.2) it is known
that the optimal temperature can be lower for fruit body formation than for
