Abstract
A USEFUL feature of the dikaryon of Coprinus lagopus sensu Buller is the ability to recover monokaryons with nuclei of one or other of the component types. It is thus possible to confirm whether the genotype of these nuclei has remained unchanged in the dikaryon during vegetative growth since the two parental monokaryons fused. It also makes possible the investigation of one nuclear type in cytoplasm derived in part from another monokaryon.
