Abstract excerpt
Filamentous fungi grow by the elaboration of hyphae, which may fuse to form a network as a colony develops. Fusion of hyphae can occur between genetically different individuals, provided they share a common allele at loci affecting somatic compatibility. Diversity in somatic compatibility phenotypes reduces the frequency of hyphal fusion in a population, thereby slowing the spread of deleterious genetic elements...
