Deadwood is one of the main terrestrial carbon (C) pools and its decomposition is fundamental in biogeochemical cycles. As fungi are the main wood degraders, a study was carried out on deadwood-colonising fungal community changes as a function of host ...

Hallmarks of Basidiomycete Soft- and White-Rot in Wood-Decay -Omics Data of Two Armillaria Species
Wood-decaying Basidiomycetes are among the most efficient degraders of plant cell walls, making them key players in forest ecosystems, global carbon cycle, and in bio-based industries. Recent insights from -omics data revealed a high functional diversity

Wood decay fungi: an analysis of worldwide research
Purpose: Wood decay fungi are the only forms of life capable of degrading wood to its initial constituents, greatly contributing to the soil ecosystem. This study summarizes the current research status and development characteristics of global wood decay

Brown rot fungi degrade wood in a two-step process in which enzymatic hydrolysis is preceded by an oxidative degradation phase. While a detailed understanding of the molecular processes during brown rot decay is mandatory for being able to better protect

Characterizing Fungal Decay of Beech Wood: Potential for Biotechnological Applications
The biotechnological potential of nine decay fungi collected from stored beech logs at a pulp and paper factory yard in Northern Iran was investigated. Beech blocks exposed to the fungi in a laboratory decay test were used to study changes in cell wall ...

A breakthrough for wood decay fungi [PDF]
For wood mycologists, the work of Savory (1954a,b) marked an important step in the understanding of decay processes by lignolytic fungi. His description of decay by ascomycete and deuteromycete fungi in wood from industrial water cooling towers revealed a particular pattern observed previously by Bailey & Vestal (1937), Tamblyn (1937) and Barghoorn

Scots pine heartwood is known to have resistance to wood decay due to the presence of extractives, namely stilbenes and resin acids. However, previous studies have indicated that these extractives are degradable by wood decaying fungi.

Geography and hosts of the wood decay fungi Fomes fasciatus and Fomes fomentarius in the United States [PDF]
Comprehensive United States county distribution maps of Fomes fasciatus and F. fomentarius were developed based on peer-reviewed publications, records from mycological herbaria and collections made for this study. The geographic distribution was expanded
