Description The mating system of Pleurotus fiabellatus was investigated using twenty monokaryons
obtained from a single sporophore. All matings between pairs of monokaryons fell into four
genotypic classes indicating that the fungus has bifactorial incompatibility. Considerable
variation in growth rate was observed among monokaryons, the derived dikaryons and their
component monokaryons. No correlation was found between growth rates of derived
dikaryons and expected combined mean growthrates of their component monokaryons or the
individual growth rates of monokaryons. The ability to produce fruit-body primordia in
vitro on straw was not solely restricted to the dikaryons, Cultivation trials of derived
dikaryons to select better strains over the parental dikaryon were promising.
