Decay mechanisms of brown-rot fungi: Dissertation
, 1996 Brown-rot fungi, e.g. the dryrot fungus (Serpula lacrymans), are the most harmful microorganisms in timber in service in Finland and in temperate regions. Brown-rot fungi cause wood decay primarily by attacking the carbohydrates of the cell walls, leaving lignin essentially undigested. At the initial stage of decay, brown-rot fungi seem to operate by a
