when they left the-nesto whereas in-all the other species investigated
Tem, it=ceS was not carried* There were differences in the sex of
the carrier too* the male carrying in kfacroternes bellicosualand the
female in the Microtermes species. Evidence suggests that the non-
carriers may obtain their Termit-anyces inGculum from basidlospores as
the basidiocarp3 are present at the same time as the first foraging
workers were active in new nests* The presence of basidiocarps only
In association with non-carrying species was further evidence.
