Abstract
⺠We present PCR primers specific to the threatened fungus Hypocreopsis rhododendri. ⺠The primers can detect less than 0.0013 % H. rhododendri tissue in wood by mass. ⺠We failed to detect H. rhododendri mycelia in the wood underneath its sporocarps. ⺠The fungus is not present throughout woodland as wood-inhabiting mycelia. ⺠This suggests H. rhododendri is not a wood decay fungus but a mycoparasite.
