Abstract
Six media reported to be useful for isolating Hymenomycetes from decaying wood were compared. Plates containing these media were inoculated with small segments taken from decaying wood collected in the field. Hymenomycetes and other microorganisms that grew from the segments were recorded. A malt extract – potato dextrose agar medium that incorporated benomyl, neomycin, and streptomycin was the most successful at isolating the white or brown rot fungi.Key words: isolation media, Hymenomycetes, Basidiomycotina, wood decay fungi, benomyl.Keywords
