Temperature Characteristics of Two <i>Fomitiporia</i> Fungi Determine Their Geographical Distributions in Japan
Two morphologically similar fungi, <i>Fomitiporia torreyae</i> and <i>Fomitiporia punctata</i>, are causal fungi of various tree diseases in Japan and are speculated to be distributed in different climatic zones. Clarifying their distribution ranges and climatic preferences w...
