Abstract
BASIDIA of many Polyporaceæ at the end of the rainy season and during intervals between two showers of rain have been observed to be gradually transformed into hyphal elongations with terminal spores that are exactly like basidiospores. Conversely, on the advent of rain in the middle of a dry season, the hyphal elongations soon become reconverted into regular basidia.
