Oxidase tests were applied to 35 wood-inhabiting saprophytic Hyphomycetes to determine their ability to produce polyphenoloxidase enzymes. Most produced laccase, some tyrosinase, and a few peroxidase. The presence of these enzymes, especially tyrosinase, has taxonomic significance. This is the first report of such enzymes in Hyphomycetes.
