RESUMO

Flammulina velutipes (Curt. ex Fr.) Sing. was grown on potato-glucose solution freed of most starch. Glucose uptake and dry weight changes in the colony indicated that the large fruitbodies derived their substrates partly from glucose remaining in the medium and partly from cellular constituents stored in the mycelium and small fruitbodies. Changes in the amounts of low molecular weight carbohydrates, glycogen, and four cell wall polysaccharide fractions were followed in the mycelium and fruitbodies. Trehalose, arabitol, and smaller amounts of mannitol were the main stored low molecular weight carbohydrates. A large net loss of these compounds occurred in the mycelium and small fruitbodies after their growth ceased. The carbohydrates accumulated in the large fruitbodies, but were also partly metabolized in the colony. Reducing sugars were minor components, and included about 30 to 50% glucose and a small undetermined quantity of fructose. Glycogen was the main storage carbohydrate in the mycelium, and was also stored in the small fruitbodies. It was broken down in both structures during growth of the large fruitbodies which accumulated only small amounts. During the same period, almost 45% of the maximum amount of cell wall polysaccharides were degraded in the small fruitbodies, but not in the mycelium.
