The termite Odontotermes formosanns (Shiraki) is an important insect pest damaging dikes and reservoirs in South China. Its nests will endanger the dikes by creating leaks when water level is high. Consolidation of the dikes can be effected by filling mud into the nests. The termites can be effectively killed by using poisonous baits and the growth of the fungus Xylaria nigripes can give very useful information concerning the location of the nests which is needed for filling the empty nests by pressing mud into them. The growth and ecological requirements of the fungus have been studied and excellent results can be obtained by using the fungus as an indicator for locating the empty termite nests.
