The systematics of the Armillaria mellea complex. Phytopathological consequences. The five biolo‐gical species of the Armillaria complex as defined by Korhonen coincide with species already defined by other authors on the basis of their morphology and have been given latin namenelature.
The main characteristies of the five Eurmpean species are deseribed: Fruitbody morphology, myce‐lium morephology in loboratory culture, rhizomorphs grown in a rhizotron and the ease with which fruithodies are produced in the laboratory. A descriptiom is given of the geographical distribution ecological specialisation and pathogenicity of these 5species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
