“…Three increment cores were removed from each tie at each time-point and were cultured on benomyl (50 ppm) amended 1 % malt extract/1,5 % agar as previously described (Rogers 2019). Benomyl retards the growth of ascomycetes, increasing the likelihood of basidiomycete isolation (Carey and Hull 1989). The isolations focused on basidiomycetes because these fungi tend to predominate in this non-soil contact environment, and most are more aggressive wood decayers (Zabel and Morrell 2020).…”

Fungi cultured from air-seasoning blackgum and red oak timbers were assessed for their ability to cause wood decay using two hardwoods and one softwood species in an AWPA E10 soil block test. Weight losses were greatest for bigleaf maple and tended to be much lower on southern pine. Almost a quarter of the 35 taxa tested caused less than 5 % weight loss, suggesting they posed a relatively low decay risk, even under ideal laboratory conditions; despite all fungi tested having the ability to depolymerize wood. Three of the four fungi causing the largest weight losses were brown-rot fungi, although brown-rot fungi represented an only small proportion of the total isolates from the original hardwood timbers. These results illustrate the wide array of decay capabilities of fungi colonizing air-seasoning red oak and blackgum timbers, and the potential of many isolates to negatively affect wood properties through biodeterioration.

“…and many other basidiomycetes from wood chips and soil extracts (20,21). Recently, OPP was used in a selective medium to isolate several white rot basidiomycetes from wood (7). Other selective inhibitors that have been found to be useful for the isolation of wood rot basidiomycetes from a variety of substrates are the antibiotic streptomycin and the fungicide benomyl.…”
