It was found that the hardwood form of Cantharellus cibarius (strain 5400) produced less cytokinin-like substances than the coniferous form (strain 5410). Among the active substances the following were detected: 2iP, 2iP riboside and zeatin. No significant differences in ethylene production between both strains in the presence or absence of methionine (considered to be the precursor of this gas) were noted
