AbstractTo collect more information about the organisms causing sap-stain, a thorough survey was conducted in Koreas sawmills that process logs and boards of Japanese red pine and Korean pine. Sap-staining fungi were isolated and identified using morphological and molecular methods. The 482 isolates obtained were distributed into at least nine species of ophiostomatoid fungi. In both pine species, the frequency of ophiostomatoid isolates was much higher in boards than in logs. Three species, Ophiostoma koreanum,O. floccosum, andO. piliferum, were found on both logs and boards. TwoPesotumspecies from Japanese red pine were isolated only from logs. Our results show that the dominant species in both logs and boards wasO. koreanumfrom Korean pine. However,O. koreanum,O. floccosum, andO. ipswere the most frequently found species in this study.

Abstract The genus Cladosporium Link is one of the most well-known dark molds causing sapwood discoloration. Although the Cladosporium species are widespread in the world, little is known about the extent to which they stain wood. Twenty-eight isolates from seven different tree species in Korea were obtained and investigated in this study. Nine species, including three unknown Cladosporium species, were identified based on their genotypic characteristics. Cladosporium cladosporioides was the dominant species, followed by C. rectoides, C. perangustum, C. pseudocladosporioides, C. tenuissimum, and C. ramotenellum . Their discoloration ability was determined with sapwood blocks of Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora) and radiata pine (Pinus radiata). On both blocks, Cladosporium tenuissimum and C. cladosporioides showed the highest level of discoloration.

AbstractIn this study, the diversity of wood inhabitingPenicilliumspecies in Korea was investigated through the analysis of their phenotypic traits and phylogeny. Moreover, the discoloration and growth patterns of these species on the surfaces of two commercially important conifers were examined. From a collection of 137Penicilliumisolates from various wood species, 37Penicilliumspecies have been identified including six unknownPenicilliumspecies. The occurrence of sixPenicilliumspecies in Korea was demonstrated for the first time:P. biourgeianum,P. decaturense,P. kloeckeri,P. meleagrinumvar.viridiflavum,P. ochrochloron, andP. sumatrense.P. funiculosumwas the most prevalent species (15.4%). Sapwood blocks of Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora) and radiata pine (Pinus radiata) were exposed to eachPenicilliumspecies to examine their discoloration and growth patterns on these woods. The blocks of Japanese red pine were more susceptible toPenicilliumgrowth, and the highest discoloration rate on both sapwood blocks was achieved by one of the recently described speciesP. decaturense.
