Preliminary Observations on the Growth of Transplanted Peltigera Canina Under Semi-Natural Conditions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 March 2007
Abstract
Peltigera canina thalli have been successfully transplanted onto soil in a garden and in flowerpots. Garden samples showed marked seasonality and achieved growth rates of 6·4 cm per year. Pot-grown samples showed variation in the growth of individual thallus lobes and established that, under different soil hydration regimes, permanently hydrated thalli could sustain considerable linear growth rates for at least 140 days.
