Abstract
Temp.-growth response data may be plotted as straight lines (instead of the usual unimodal curves skewed to the right) by means of a linear temp. abscissa scale and a non-linear ordinate scale expressing in vitro fungus colony diams. as % of that at the opt. temp. and geometrically derived from an avg. temp. -growth response curve based on data in the literature for various spp. of fungi. This eliminates much confusion when several sets of data are plotted on the same graph and possibly allows curves to be plotted with a min. of 2 explt. points. Cardinal growth temps., the growth temp. range, and, perhaps, inaccuracies or inconsistencies in collected data are more apparent.
