Abstract
As all other organisms, fungi grow preferably under certain climatological conditions. All fungal species have a specific combination of relative humidity and temperature at which the growth is optimal. For a number of fungi the growth has been characterized as function of the relative humidity and temperature and plotted in so-called isopleths (Ayerst 1969, Smith and Hill 1982, Magan and Lacey 1984), which are contour plots of growth rates as a function of these two parameters. Such studies have provided much insight in the influence environmental conditions on the growth of fungi under steady-state conditions.
