Abstract

Armillaria species were isolated from coniferous and deciduous overstory species in 17 of 22 stands in the Chequamenon are of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Armillaria calvescens and A. sinapina were identified once each, and the remainder of isolates were A. ostoyae. These findings are related to reports of Armillaria species from other ares of North America, particularly the western Great Lakes States, and the potential role of Armillaria root disease in the Chequamegon.
