Utilizing Extracted Fungal Pigments for Wood Spalting: A Comparison of Induced Fungal Pigmentation to Fungal Dyeing [PDF]
Journal of Coatings, 2014 The lengthy time periods required by current spalting methods prohibit the economically viable commercialization of spalted wood on a large scale. This work aimed to compare the effects of induced spalting in 16 Pacific Northwest woods using three common spalting fungi, Chlorociboria aeruginosa, Scytalidium cuboideum, and Scytalidium ganodermophthorum,

Understanding the Role of Controlled Environments for Producing Mycelium-bound Composites: Advancing Circular Practices for Integrating Biotechnology into the Construction Industry. [PDF]
Glob ChallThis perspective article examines the role of controlled environments (CEns) in producing mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs). It offers a novel perspective on how the design and characterization of CEns can facilitate the integration of these materials within the construction sector.

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 381-400, July 2022., 2022 Abstract The lower incisor enamel microstructure of the fossil rodent family Eomyidae was believed to be three‐layered and highly derived but rather uniform throughout the clade. Here, we describe a new four‐layered schmelzmuster in Eomyidae consisting of a three‐fold portio interna with longitudinal oriented, uniserial Hunter‐Schreger bands and a one ...

Honey as a Xylindein-Stimulatory Media for Chlorociboria Species
ColorantsFungi in the Chlorociboria genus produce a blue pigment called xylindein—a pigment with high UV stability, photovoltaic capacity, and which is used as a historic wood colorant.

ForestsTropical montane and premontane forests are diverse, including fungi. However, little is known about spalting fungi (decay fungi that change the color of wood) in tropical regions despite the economic importance they could bring by enhancing wood esthetics.
