Abstract
This study was performed to determine if several moderately utilised Peruvian hardwoods had potential for spalting applications. Authors applied a modified decay jar methodology with six native Peruvian woods and three fungi, with a period of incubation of 6 weeks. Results showed that Nigrospora sphaerica and marupa (Simarouba amara) showed the highest significant internal pigmentation (black), followed by congona (Brosimum alicastrum) and zapote (Matisia cordata) tested with Cladosporium herbarum. No spalting occurred on woods with darker sapwood.
