An attempt to establish a model for the rhythmic phenomena affecting the growth or sporulation of certain fungi.
A simple two-variable mathematical model is proposed, able to acount for periodic variations relating to growth in Podospora anserina and fructification in Aspergillus niger. This basic model is open to generalization.
