IN October 1909 the late A. H. R. Buller collected at Winnipeg fresh fruit-bodies of the xerophytic agaric Schizophyllum commune Fr. and placed them in his laboratory. On December 10, 1910, a number of whole or part pilei were sealed in glass tubes in a vacuum of less than 0.1 mm. pressure of mercury, and stored in the dark at room temperature1,2. His notes, found recently at Kew with the remaining tubes, show that he planned to test the vitality of the fungus after 1 week, 6 weeks, 4 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 25 years. Tradition and experience rate the life of a mushroom as short. Actually, he opened only four tubes: the fungus revived after 1 week, 3½ months, 16½ months; and after 19 months, the last three weeks of which were spent at the temperature of liquid air, as noted below.
