SCREENING SELECTED DECAYED WOODFLOURS BY SOME EDIBLE-FUNGI FOR THE ATTRACTION TO TERMITES
引诱白蚁的食用菌腐朽物的筛选

The experiments oi the bio-determinations for the simple and the complex selecting were carried out with six species of termites to the sawdust decayed by five species of fungi. These termites are Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe), R. flaviceps (Oshima), R. labralis Hsia et Fan, R. aculabialis Tsai et Huang, Coptotermes communis Xsia et He and Odontotermes fontanellus Kemner. One of the five fungi is a wood-decayed fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum (Pers. ex Fr.) Murr. Lenzites trabea (Pers. ex Fr.) Fr. ]. Other are wood-decayed edible-fungi : Tremella fueiformis Berk, Auricularia auricula (L. ex Hook.) Underw., Hericium erinaceus (Bull.) Pers. and Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing. The results of the bio-determinations have been indicated that three species of edible-fungi (T. fueiformis, A. auricula, and L. edodes) and G. trabeum have some attraction to termites, with the exception that H. erinaceus has little attraction to termites, of which, the attraction of sawdust decayed by T. fueiformis is the strongest and longest followed in order by A. auricula, G. trabeum, and L. edodes. The chemical compositions and the construction of the acting substances which have attraction to termites in the sawdust decayed by T. fueiformis and A, auricula are neccessary to be further studies
