Analysis of spatio-temporal fungal growth dynamics under different environmental conditions by Liselotte De Ligne, Guillermo Vidal-Diez de Ulzurrun, Jan M. Baetens, Jan Van den Bulcke, Joris Van Acker, Bernard De Baets

“…At the most extreme conditions we tested, the mycelium most probably experienced water stress when developing over the inert Petri dish surface. An RH of 65% (independent of temperature) for C. puteana and a temperature of 30 °C (independent of RH) for both C. puteana and R. solani therefore always resulted in limited fungal growth, while the optimal growing conditions were at 20 °C and 75% RH and at 25 °C and 80% RH for R. solani and at 20 °C and 75% RH for C. puteana. …”
