Abstract
THE usual forms of Rhizoctonia when grown on agar culture remain sterile, and are differentiated mainly on the basis of vegetative characters. During a study of the occurrence of Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn in England, a number of isolates falling within the limits of the form genus Rhizoctonia regarding vegetative characters formed basidiospores freely on agar cultures. These isolates were afterwards identified as Corticium praticola Kotila1, although the measurements of basidia, sterigmata and spores were all slightly larger than those given by Kotila.
