Fungal colonisation strategies?

[hesslemount]

Does anyone know of a website, book or journal paper that will tell me the colonisation strategy of species of fungi? Heart rot strategies, unspecialised opportunism, specialised opportunism and active pathogenesis are "colonisation strategies" defined by Rayner, D. M. (1993) BUT I need to know which fungi species exhibit which strategy. I've 20 species to cover and need to allot each one with its respective 'colonisation strategy'. Any help will be very welcomed.

"Fungal strategies of wood decay in trees", Schwarze and Mattheck - I'd imagine will answer your questions

[hesslemount]

And like a lot of Mattheck's books will cost me a small fortune. £100 on Amazon. Thanks though as I'll keep looking for this book at a cheaper price.

Agree with the previous comment; however, if you're feeling plush, try Diagnosis and Prognosis of the Development of Wood Decay in Urban Tress by Schwarze

£282.50 used. Better get my chainsaws sharpened ;-)

is this for the PTI? I dont know what species the list has these days but care to name them? then w emay be able to help with the "strategy" part,

[treeseer]

Wouldn't an arb school library have these on the shelf!

 

The 2nd Schwarze book retails at $200USD, but I agree w gaz re Strategies for your purpose. not 100 pounds; [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fungal-Strategies-Wood-Decay-Trees/dp/3540672052[/ame]

 

you could search here for a start Arboriculture & Urban Forestry Online

why does no one bother to mention that Schwarze is available digitally for the price of the old book around 45 quid? get a kindle

Dont even need a kindle, get in on 'google play' and use the free google books app on a smartphone or pc/laptop.

Also, try the arbtalk fungi guide/app, I think it has some of the info you're looking for
