  1. "+" transformation from yeast to mycelial form; "++" low mycelial growth (up to 1.25 cm diameter); "+++" medium mycelial growth (from 1.25 to 1.65 cm diameter); "++++" high mycelial growth (above 1.65 cm diameter); "-" no growth.
  2. *The samples from medium textures presented high values of H+Al and low values of base saturation.
