Wood deterioration were generally occured by the activities of biological agents. Fungal can attack wood and lignoselulosic substances and cause staining and decaying. Its damage levels were vary depending on the attacking fungal species. Eventhough it poses some disadvantages, actually fungy have potential benefits for human life such as nutrient, energy resources, medicine, etc. Fungy from Tabo-tabo educational forest were collected, isolated,and identified in this study. Identification was conducted throughout their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. The result showed that the amount of fungal species were nineteen species, i.e: Aspergillus sp.,Poria subacida, Fomes sp., Lenzites sp., Hericium sp., Dacrymyces deliquescens, Ganoderma lucidum, Clitocybe sp., Trametes confragasa, Shizophyllum commune, Periconia sp., dan Helicosporium sp.,Clitocybe sp., Schizophyllum commune, dan Hygrophorus hypotejus,Ganoderma lucidum dan Coprinus atramentarius, Amanitopsis fulva dan Dacrymyces deliquescens, Collybia sp., Amanitopsis fulva, Hygrophorus hypotejus,Coprinus atramentarius, Monilia sitophilia, Gilmaniella sp. dan Conoplea sp.

Wood is one medium that can be a place to grow fungus. The chemical components forming wood in the form of holocellulose and lignin which can be overhauled by fungi into simple compounds are a food source for the fungus. This study aims to identify the type of fungus that grows on the log and or sawn wood of Palaquium sp so that it can provide information about the diversity of fungal species, both useful and those that are pathogenic. The process of identifying mushrooms is done by observing the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the fungus. The macroscopic characteristics observed were mushroom color and mushroom fruit body shape. Observations of microscopic features include hyphae, spores, sporangium, conidia, and conidiophores. Macroscopic and microscopic observations identified eight types of fungi that grow on real wood, namely Dacryopinax spathularia, Pycnoporus sanguineus, Schizophyllum commune, Cunninghamella echinulata, Penicillium, Trichoderma, Absidia ramosa and Aspergillus. There are six types of fungi which are wood rot fungi, namely D. spathularia; P. sanguineus; S. commune; Penicillium, Trichoderma, and Aspergillus. The other two types are coloring fungi, namely C. echinulata and A. ramosa.

Fungi have a great diversity and wide distribution at the world. It can be used as the alternative technology for controlling of subterranean termite attack, particularly genus Coptotermes knowned as the wooden destructive organism, by using entomophatogenic fungi. For the purpose of the study, several isolate sources were taken from some locations. The results show that eight numbers of pathogenic fungi was founded by screening and identification of fungi taken from 19 numbers of isolate sources. The pathogenic fungi were Beauveria sp., Penicillium brevicompactum, P. rubrum, Paecilomyces fulvus, Fusarium verticolloides, Pythium sp., and Aspergillus sp.

Wood deterioration were generally occured by the activities of biological agents. Fungal can attack wood and lignoselullosic substances and cause staining and decaying. Its damage levels were vary depending on the attacking fungal species. Eventhough it poses some disadvantages, actually fungy have potential benefits for human life such as nutrient, energy resources, medicine, etc. Fungy from the Hasanuddin University Experimental Forest were collected, isolated, and identified in this study. Identification was conducted throughout their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. The result showed that the amount of fungal species were fourteen species, i.e: Trichoderma sp., Phymatotrichum sp., Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Pleurotus sp., Verticillium sp., Schizophyllum sp., Clavariadelphus truncates, Beuveria sp, Dendryphion sp., Penicillium sp., Amanita junguilea (jamur kikik), Auricularia auricularis (jamur kuping pimir), Amanita fuliginea Hongo, and Fusarium sp.

Grasserie disease is one of the serious diseases caused by viruses. Its symptoms generally appear in the last instar of silkworm larvae or just before the formation of the cocoon. This study aimed to determine the level of attack, yield losses and dispersal patterns of grasserie at three sericulture center in South Sulawesi, Districs (Wajo, Soppeng and Enrekang). At each location 10 farmers were selected purposively as respondents. Direct observation was conducted to the farmer’s rearing rack (on farmer’s rearing bed) of silkworm using five replications. The results showed that the attack rates of grasserie were categorrised as very slight, ranging from 3.06 to 3.72 kgs of yield losses per each box with a uniform pattern of disease spread. Reared of  silkworms in accordance with standard operating procedures can reduce the rate of grasserie disease to avoid losing larger cocoon yields.
