  1. For the libraries OCL01-OCL06, mycelial cultures from each of the eight isolates were grown on five different media, and for one medium the mycelia were treated with LPPE (W = wood, S = starch, ON = organic nitrogen, IN = inorganic nitrogen, OO = olive oil, LPPE = treatment with lodgepole pine methanol extract). After extracting total RNA separately from each of the 48 isolate/media/LPPE-treatment variants and from the spore sample (Sp), equal amounts of total RNA were pooled to obtain four isolate/treatment combinations. From these pooled samples we purified poly(A+) mRNA and generated cDNA. All three non-spore cDNA samples were divided into two fractions, one of which was normalized. The resulting seven cDNA samples were used for library construction. HQ = high quality.
