Wood-decay fungus - Wikipedia
A wood-decay or xylophagous fungus is any species of fungus that digests moist wood, causing it to rot. Some species of wood-decay fungi attack dead wood, such as brown rot, and some, such as Armillaria (honey fungus), are parasitic and colonize living trees.
Wood decay fungi: an analysis of worldwide research
2022年5月5日 · 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 fungi research, in order to better understand their role in soils.
Decay stages of wood and associated fungal communities
2021年4月26日 · We evaluated fungal community assemblies and substrate quality in different stages of wood decay to assess the relationships between fungal species richness and weight loss of wood substrate...
Wood decay fungi are any species of fungi that utilise the structural components of wood as a source of nutrients. They comprise a very diverse group and have a worldwide distribution normally wherever trees are found. Wood decay fungi are vital to ecosystem functioning as they facilitate the decomposition of woody materials into soil.
Wood-Decay Fungus - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Wood-decay (WD) fungi are of main importance for recycling wood components in particular carbon in biogeochemical cycles and can be used as biological tools to valorize wood biomass in energy or paper industry. Conversely, they cause considerable losses in silviculture, arboriculture, or viticulture as pathogens.

2022年3月30日 · We collected 25 wood samples beneath sporocarps of F. fomentarius (n = 13) and F. betulina (n = 12) on standing dead trees, and coupled microbial DNA sequencing with chemical signatures of rot...
Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and
2007年7月17日 · Protective measures at a landscape level are needed for threatened wood-inhabiting fungi. These include restricting salvage operations in windthrow stands, actively encouraging the accumulation of deadwood in forests, and facilitating decay in standing trees by inoculating them with fungi.
Wood Decay Fungus - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Fungal wood decay involves coordinated action of a battery of depolymerizing enzymes and nonenzymic depolymerizing agents that act in concert on the polymer complex.
Niche differentiation and evolution of the wood decay
