The purpose of this work was to assess the morphological development of a filamentous fungus, Schizophyllum commune grown in media supplemented with various carbon sources, in an attempt to correlate cellulase gene regulation with the morphogenesis of the fungus. Daily samples of fungal cultures grown for up to eleven days were supplied by the Molecular Genetics Group, National Research Council of Canada. The cultures were investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopy. This report describes the general morphogenesis of submerged cultures of S. commune grown on soluble and solid carbon substrates. The colony development, asexual spore formation and substrate utilization by the fungus are also described.
