Summary The decay patterns of brown and soft rot fungi in Sapelli wood (Entandrophragma cylindricum Sprague), with respect to natural durability, were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy as well as UV spectroscopy. Analyses revealed that the typical brown rot fungus Coniophora puteana can cause a soft rot-like decay in the sapwood of Sapelli at high moisture contents of approx. 100%. In accordance with the decay pattern of the typical soft rot fungus Chaetomium globosum, the hyphae of C. puteana penetrated the S2 wall of fibres and formed characteristic rhomboidal cavities orientated parallel to the microfibrillar angle. However, these cavities were larger in diameter (3.9 μm ± 0.9) than those formed by C. globosum (2.1 μm ± 0.5) and with a distinct interspace between the hyphae and surrounding walls. Hyphae of C. globosum were directly attached to the undecayed secondary wall. No lignin degradation for both fungi in close vicinity to the cavities was observed, as evidenced by UV spectroscopy. The inclusion of microscopy for definitive decay type identification is recommended.

The heartwood of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.) contains considerable amounts of fungitoxic phenolics, but also possesses an extensive fungus flora. Two of the most frequently isolated fungi, Peniophora pseudo-pini Weres. & Gibson and Tympanis hypopodia Nyl., effected the most rapid decrease in concentration of pinosylvin, pinosylvinmonomethyl ether, pinocembrin, and pinobanksin in lodgepole pine heartwood meal. Three mechanisms for the removal of pinosylvin were observed. The laccase-producing ascomycetes, Coryne sarcoides (Dicks. ex Fr.) Bon. and T. hypopodia, caused a decrease in optical density as well as a maximum absorption shift of pinosylvin from 310 mμ to 300 mμ. This shift could be related to the appearance of a new compound which absorbed at 300 mμ. Three laccase-producing basidiomycetes, P. pseudo-pini, Stereum sanguinolentum Alb. & Schw. ex Fr., and Fomes pini (Thore ex Fr.) Lloyd, caused decreases in the concentration of pinosylvin that were concurrent with red stain formation in infected heartwood meal, but were not associated with maximum absorption shifts. The non-laccase-producing brown rot fungus, Coniophora puteana Schum. ex Fr., caused a maximum absorption shift of pinosylvin from 310 to 320 mμ. However, the concentration of altered pinosylvin did not decrease below that of pinosylvin in the control. All fungi were living at the conclusion of the experiment.
