Determining the Presence of Spalted Wood in Spanish Marquetry Woodworks of the 1500s through the 1800s [PDF]

Coatings, 2017
The process of using fungal-colored wood (spalted wood) for marquetry and intarsia woodworks in Italy and Germany was very popular from the 1400–1600s, with some instances continuing as late as the 1800s. While spalted marquetry in these countries is relatively well documented, less is known about its use in other parts of Europe.

Method of Stabilizing Heavily Spalted Big Leaf Maple as a Decorative Coating Veneer Layer for Engineered Wood Flooring [PDF]

Coatings, 2019
Spalted wood, wood colored by fungi, has been popular in woodcraft for centuries. Most spalted wood, however, is found in an advanced state of decay and cannot be utilized. This project describes the use of viscoelastic thermal compression (VTC) to investigate the potential increase in spalted woods’ strength and stiffness, with the main objective of ...

Zone line formation on artificial media and in hardwoods by basidiomycetes for production of spalted wood

Holzforschung, 2017
Abstract One of the visual modification of wood is the formation of dark zone lines (ZLs) via interaction of fungi. The result is called spalted wood, which has hitherto been produced mainly in small batches. The main goal of the present study is to further develop techniques for rapid formation of ZLs in hardwoods. Various white rot and

Honey as a Xylindein-Stimulatory Media for Chlorociboria Species

Colorants
Fungi 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.

Finding Spalting Fungi in the Peruvian Tropical Premontane Cloud Forest on Peruvian Native Wood Species

Forests
Tropical 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.

Influence of heavy metals on the electrical conductivity of melanized pseudosclerotial plates in spalted wood

, 2020
Zone lines in wood are formed on the border of two mutually antagonistic fungi. These lines, also known as pseudosclerotial plates, owe their colour to the presence of melanin. Recently, melanin has been studied for its semiconductive properties. Melanin is also known for its ability to absorb various heavy metals. Within our study, we isolated several
