Abstract
TRANSLOCATION of nutrients by fungal mycelium has been reported by Schütte1 and by Grossbard and Stranks2. Attempts in this Department to determine the rate of transport of phosphorus using a tracer technique have, however, indicated that the mycelium of Phycomyces nitens, Absidia glauca and Chaetomiums pp. is only able to transport phosphorus-32 under certain limited conditions.
