Mexican woods from both warm-humid and cold-temperate
zones were exposed to three native fungi. Six of the tropi-
cal woods were observed to be moderately to highly resis-
tant to decay, while the temperate pines and the tropical
Pseudobombax ellipticum were nonresistant to moderately
resistant to fungal attack.

Gonzalez-F., R.; Abad-C.,J. 1975. Armillaria mellea
Quel. Departamento de Industrias Forestales, Lima, Peru.
Revista Forestal del Peru. 6(1/2):89-93.
Armillaria mellea is reported to occur in four areas of Peru
(Huanuco, Junin, Loreto, and Lima). The macroscopic and
microscopic characteristics of the fungus are described, as
are the symptoms of attack, the types of degradation, and
some methods of control.

Wood samples were subjected to five varieties of xilofagus
fungi for 90 days. Samples were then classified into five
catagories of resistance to decay.

Fifty-three species were impregnated by the Lowry process.
Twenty-four species were readily permeable, while 10 were
quite impenetrable to preservative.

Sap and heartwood of 10 tropical wood spp. were exposed
to five wood decay fungi: Armillaria mellea, Coriolus ver-
sicolor, Ganoderma applanatum, Lenzites trabea [Gloeo-
phyllum trabeum] and Pycnoporus sanguineus. Wood of
high density species was not always durable. The woods
that were most decay resistant were Brosimum uleanum,
Caryocar coccineum, and Ormosia coccinea.

Describes the evaluation, for decay resistance, of 16
Paraguayan wood species, using agar-block and soil-block
tests against three wood decaying fungi: Coriolus versi-
color, Gloeophyllum trabeum, and Poria placenta. Thirteen
of the species were highly decay resistant, two resistant,
and one (Bastardiopis densiflora) not resistant.
