Establishment of Poria carbonica in wood and colonization by basidiomycetes of Douglas-fir utility poles during air seasoning

Creator:

Przybylowicz, Paul

Abstract:

Influence of temperature and wood moisture content on spore germination and colonization of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga jnenziesii) heartwood by Poria carbonica basidiospores and chlamydospores was studied. Both spore types germinated and colonized wood at moisture contents above the fiber saturation point, but not below. Germination and wood colonization occurred at 22°C...
