Decay capabilities of basidiomycetes colonizing air-seasoning red oak and blackgum railroad ties

Abstract: 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...
