The infection courts of Hymenochaete tabacina (Sow. ex Fr.) Lév. were studied in stands of Corylus avellana and on stems of Sorbus aucuparia and Syringa vulgaris . The fungus was able to spread through tight contacts between stems that were bound together by fungal tissue. H. tabacina could spread from a dead to a living stem within and between different stools of hazel and from one tree species to another.
