Book Description
Excerpt from Studies Upon Some Chromogenic Fungi Which Discolor Wood The work of investigation has been undertaken primarily on account of the value of the knowledge which might accrue through the study of the chromogenic fungi or bacteria which are concerned in the color reactions which take place in stained lumber; yet, on the other hand, the economic value of the work has not been lost sight of, owing to the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the lumber industry each year due to the lowering of the grade of lumber in piles through the rapid action of many tiny wood staining fungi. In the study of the fungus ora of the lumber pile a large number of forms have been observed not all of which discolor the substratum upon which they grow. Attention has been given not only to those which penetrate wood deeply and stain it, but also to those which discolor it only superficially.
