“…In addition, incipient and advanced rot by 3 S. himantioides, H. annosum and C. viscosa as butt rot fungi in a Danish Douglas-fir stand S. himantioides is easily recognized as mycelial outgrowth from incubated samples and is prominent and characteristic after just 5-6 days. It was observed by Seehann (1986) and in our study, that trees with advanced rot are of low diameter. As the mean diameter in Douglas-fir stands normally is raised through thinning, rot in windfall trees and thinning trees could well be comparable.…”

“…In northern Europe S. himantioides has only been recognized sporadically from European and Japanese larch, Norway spruce, Scots pine and Douglasfir (Liese 1930;Peace 1938;Siepmann 1982Siepmann , 1984Seehann 1986). First, because S. himantioides had not previously been diagnosed as a butt rot fungus in conifers in Denmark and secondly because of the high frequency of occurrence in the stand.…”

“…The advanced butt rot characters described for Douglas-fir, Norway spruce, European and Japanese larch attacked by S. himantioides (Siepmann 1982(Siepmann , 1984Seehann 1986;Koch 2000) are so uniform and characteristic that they cannot be mistaken as caused by other decay fungi in the field situation. In addition, incipient and advanced rot by 3 S. himantioides, H. annosum and C. viscosa as butt rot fungi in a Danish Douglas-fir stand S. himantioides is easily recognized as mycelial outgrowth from incubated samples and is prominent and characteristic after just 5-6 days.…”

A scattered wind fall of 50 trees in a 46-year-old stand of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) revealed Serpula himantioides, Heterobasidion annosum and Calocera viscosa as decay causing fungi. Sixty-four percent of the stumps had visible rot on the stump surface. Mainly, a central brown rot was seen, caused by either S. himantioides or C. viscosa combined with eccentrically placed spots of incipient H. annosum rot. Subsequently, the appearance of fruitbodies disclosed that in total 76% of the wind thrown trees were associated with one or more of the three decay fungi. S. himantioides was present in a surprisingly large number of trees (54%), and the rot column extended up to 2 m into the stem. This investigation represents the first known incidence of S. himantioides and C. viscosa causing root and butt rot in living conifers in Denmark.

“…was more abundant on stumps in the full-tree treatment. This species is primarily a pathogen of conifers (Seehann, 1986) that can cause a significant loss of tree volume (Chakravarty, 1995) and cause root tissue death (Seehann, 1986). Follow-up studies will be required to determine if the association of this pathogen with the full-tree treatment will lead to increased rates of infection in this treatment.…”

Growing pressures linked to global warming are prompting governments to put policies in place to find alternatives to fossil fuels. In this study, we compared the impact of tree-length harvesting to more intensive full-tree harvesting on the composition of fungi residing in residual stumps 5 years after harvest. In the tree-length treatment, a larger amount of residual material was left around the residual stumps in contrast to the full-tree treatment where a large amount of woody debris was removed. We collected sawdust from five randomly selected residual stumps in five blocks in each of the tree-length and full-tree treatments, yielding a total of 50 samples (25 in each treatment). We characterized the fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) present in each stump using high-throughput DNA sequencing of the fungal ITS region. We observed no differences in Shannon diversity between tree-length and full-tree harvesting. Likewise, we observed few differences in the composition of fungal OTUs among tree-length and full-tree samples using non-metric multidimensional scaling. Using the differential abundance analysis implemented with DESeq2, we did, however, detect several associations between specific fungal taxa and the intensity of residual biomass harvest. For example, Peniophorella pallida (Bres.) KH Larss. and Tephromela sp. were found mainly in the full-tree treatment, while Phlebia livida (Pers.) Bres. and Cladophialophora chaetospira (Grove) Crous & Arzanlou were found mainly in the tree-length treatment. While none of the 20 most abundant species in our study were identified as pathogens we did identify one conifer pathogen species Serpula himantioides (Fr.) P. Karst found mainly in the full-tree treatment.
