Armillaria mellea on a Stump of White Oak (Photograph by Geo. F. Atkinson) strands which may measure from 1 to 2^ mm. in diameter. They are typical rhizomorphs. These begin as complex hyphal masses which become readily sclerotial in character. These strands attain enormous lengths. They may course upward and downward in the affected tree, generally under the bark, or merely in close contact with the outer surface of the bark. They also grow through the soil to considerable distances, thus serving to spread the disease to neighboring trees. According to Hartig this strand is differ- entiated near the apex into several layers. The outer, more gelati- nous layer becomes somewhat horny; some loose hyphse, however, .
