The biology of Flammula alnicola (Fr.) Kummer ...
Flammula alnicola (Fr.) Kummer, formerly called Flammula conissans Fr. sensu Ricken causes a yellow stringy butt rot of several conifers in Western Canada. It is usually of infrequent occurrence in conifers, but was found to be the most important butt rot of white spruce in the Smith - Slave Lake ar...
