Fungal wood decay strategies are influenced by several factors, such as wood species,
moisture content, and temperature. This study aims to evaluate wood degradation …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Biological pretreatment of wood chips by fungi is a well-known approach prior to mechanical-
or chemical pulp production. For this biological approach, a limited number of white-rot fungi …

Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fmed) is one of the main fungal species found in grapevine wood
rot, also called “amadou,” one of the most typical symptoms of grapevine trunk disease Esca …

Decay patterns occurring in wood of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) during natural decay in
vivo were investigated and compared to decay in artificially inoculated wood in vitro. The …

Fungi play a critical role in the decomposition of wood and wood-based products in use. The
