Two following types of hyphae were found in mycelium which kept their character: a) non-branching hyphae which grew rapidly and whose growth rate was conformable to that of the colony on malt-agar and to that of hyphae in wood in longitudinal direction, b) branched hyphae whose main hypha grew slowly. The growth retardation of the main hypha was the higher the more rapidly lateral hyphae grew regardless of their number. The total growth increases of all hyphae on one branched hypha were conformable to the increase of an unbranched one.
