“…A previous study of wood sugar content and pigment production by spalting fungi found that most of the tested fungi produced more pigment on woods high in sucrose (sugar maple, Acer saccharum, in particular) [36]. Interestingly, S. cuboideum produced the most pigment in the aforementioned study on tree of heaven (TOH, Ailanthus altissima), which had very low sucrose content, but high glucose content.…”

Fungal pigments, specifically those generated from spalting fungi, are being developed for broader use in the wood and textile industry, and due to their coloration properties, may also be useful as aesthetic bamboo dyes. This paper evaluates the potential use of fungal pigments in bamboo (Phyllostachys spp.), and compares the difference between natural spalting and the direct application of extracted fungal pigments of three known spalting fungi: Scytalidium cuboideum, Scytalidium ganodermophthorum, and Chlorociboria aeruginosa. Bamboo was significantly spalted by S. cuboideum under live inoculation, while the other two fungi did not colonize. For the direct application of fungal pigments, bamboo did not develop internal pigmentation with any pigment, but did develop visible surface color for S. cuboideium and C. aeruginosa. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the presence of hyphae in bamboo vessels and parenchyma. An HPLC analysis for simple sugars showed the presence of glucose but no sucrose. Results indicate that the extracted pigments of the aforementioned fungi are ideal for the surface treatment of bamboo, while only direct inoculation of S. cuboideum is appropriate for internal coloration.

“…It has a low density (0.5 g/cm³), lower than many conifers, and the wood lacks strength and durability. The nitrogen content of wood at 0.32% is higher than many broadleaf species (Robinson, Tudor, & Cooper, ), likely decreasing its resistance to decay. As with most trees, there is an overall increase in vessel diameter and length from the small branches (28 and 208 μm, respectively) down to roots c .…”

“…The wood is readily decomposed and is noted for its ability to host spalting fungi, particularly Scytalidium cuboideum (Sacc., & Ellis) Sigler & Kang (= Arthrographis cuboidea (Sacc., & Ellis) Sigler; Ascomycota, Incertae sedis) and Ophiostoma piceae (Münch) Syd., & P. Syd. (Ascomycota, Ophiostomatales) (Robinson et al., ). A number of saprophytic fungi are known on horse‐chestnut, including Kretzschmaria deusta (Hoffm.)…”

Biological Flora of the British Isles:Aesculus hippocastanum

et al. 2019

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Aesculus hippocastanum L. (horse‐chestnut) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history and conservation. Aesculus hippocastanum is a large deciduous tree native to the Balkan Peninsula. Native populations are small (<10,000 trees total) and apparently in decline, but the tree has been widely planted in gardens and streets across Europe and other temperate areas from the 17th century onwards. It was voted the UK's favourite tree in a 2017 poll. As a British neophyte, it is occasionally naturalised in open wooded habitats. Horse‐chestnut is renowned for the beauty of its large (up to 30 cm long), upright panicles of white flowers, and for the large seeds (up to 42 g each) used in the formerly common children's game of “conkers.” More recently, the triterpene glycosides, extractable from various plant parts but especially the seeds, have been widely used in medicine. In much of Europe, horse‐chestnut is affected by chestnut bleeding canker (caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi), the horse‐chestnut leaf miner Cameraria ohridella and the leaf blotch fungus Guignardia aesculi. The canker is likely to lead to death of <10% individuals, but seeds of plants infested with the leaf miner are 40%–50% smaller, which may affect long‐term establishment in non‐planted areas.

“…In terms of zone lines, the researchers found that Bjerkandera adusta/ Trametes versicolor and Polyporus brumalis/Trametes versicolor combinations, as well as X. polymorphism, Coriolus versicolor, etc. could produce stable zone lines (Robinson et al 2010;Robinson et al 2011). There are many reasons for the formation of zone lines, but generally they are all caused by changes in the growth environment, which are "Guard" and "Death" of hyphae (Mallett and Hiratsuka 1986;Cease et al 1989).…”

Stain capacity of three fungi on two fast-growing wood

We investigated the stain of fast-growing wood (Cunninghamia lanceolate, CL; Paulownia, PT) inoculated with three fungi (Arthrinium phaeospermum, AP; Vibrio anguillarum, VA; Aspergillacea, AS) to explore the new wood dyeing ways and the better combination of wood and fungi for dyeing. Only AP could dye on CL and PT. Especially for CL, its percentage of internal spalting, percentage of external spalting and dyeing depth were the highest (48%, 15% and 5.06 mm, respectively). Surprisingly, the bigger weight loss occurs on PT. The results showed that the dyeing effect of AP dyeing CL was the best, and the wood color change was obviously (Orange to dark red). AP could produce more pigments than the other two fungi (VA; AS), CL was more suitable for fungus staining than PT, indicating that AP could offered a new potential market and a chance for areas to earning higher income for CL. This research paves the way for improving color change was obviously (Orange to dark red). AP could produce more pigments than the other two fungi (VA; AS), CL was more suitable for fungus staining than PT, indicating that AP could offer a new potential market and a chance for areas to earn higher income for CL.
