The purpose of “MycoNotes” is to share information and ideas developed throughout my career that otherwise would not see the light of day. In some ways, it is all about an older worker trying to tie up loose ends. After all, resigning from our paid positions doesn’t mean that we necessarily resign from contributing to science. Hopefully, “MycoNotes” will provide an expanded informational outlet.
The following series of ten MycoNotes provide details of white rot fungi in the Rigidoporus/ Junghuhnia group. All of these fungi are good wood recyclers and some are pathogens. Especially noteworthy is Rigidoporus microporus, the notorious cause of white root disease in rubber trees. Similarly, Junghuhnia vincta is an important root pathogen of commercially important woody plants such as tea, rubber, hoop pine and Mexican cypress among others.
Series 1
Additional written comments and perspectives from other workers will be welcomed and added as appropriate.
