Abstract excerpt
Pairings between heterokaryons and homokaryons of Agaricomycete fungi (he-ho pairings) can lead to either heterokaryotization of the homokaryon or displacement of the homokaryotic nucleus through migration of nuclei from the heterokaryon into the homokaryon. In species of Agaricomycetes with multinucleate cells (>2 nuclei per cell), he-ho pairings could result in the stable or transient formation of a hypha with...
