Abstract
Abstract Natural pruning of branches and its biological conditions. VI. Survey of wood degradation by branch inhabiting fungi. Laboratory tests demonstrated that fungi occurring on decaying branches and probably associated with natural pruning of branches are capable of degrading wood. Most fungi tested positive for the Bavendamm‐reaction and therefore produce phenol‐oxidase. The inoculation of wood blocks caused a typical soft rot. Impact‐resistance tests showed that fungi involved in natural pruning of branches can considerably reduce strength of wood.
