rMMAM OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



Gollybia velutipes was inoculated od red chestnui and a species of 

 poplar. The tissues in the immediate vicinity were browned and killed, 

 i u, the Gollybia did nol establish itself on the trees. 



sum purpureum. Proof was gained that in certain conditions 

 this fungus is a parasite of beech and poplar. It grows quickly and 



requires little air. 



Schkophyllum commune is not a wry active parasite, but in favour- 

 able conditions it may kill large portions of the tree. It often grows 



iciated with Polyporus hirsutus. 



Stereum rugosum is frequently found on hazel, more rarely on beech. 

 After infection, no damage ensued. 



Polyporus igniarius, a well-recognized parasite. It attacks chiefly 

 the vital tissues of bark and cambium, and does much damage. The 

 experi tits were not very successful. 



Polyporus fomentarius, one of the most deadly enemies of the beech. 

 Infection experiments were particularly successful ; the mycelium spread 

 in an upward and downward direction, and betrayed its presence by a 

 dark red discolouration surrounded by a still darker line.
