Abstract
All stages of the life cycle of the basidiomycete fungus Coprinus cinereus are readily cultured, and the organism is easy and safe to manipulate. It is representative of many other filamentous microorganisms and provides opportunity to demonstrate microbiological techniques with an amenable organism which can also be used to illustrate gene segregations, and cytological, biochemical, and morphological aspects of the morphogenesis of the highly differentiated mushroom fruit bodies.
