[willjones]

Hi all,

I'm after some help on where to find info on fungi decay strategies., sapwood exposed etc....Is there a decent website or book that I could look at, I'm currently doing a table on fungi and can't find much info. Cheers.

Great book. Sitting on my bookshelf.

 

I suggest:

 

- Diagnosis and Prognosis of the Development of Wood Decay in Urban Trees, F. W. M. R. Schwarze

- Decay of Timber and its Prevention, K. Cartwright & W. Findlay

- Wood and Tree Fungi, O. Schmidt

- Armillaria Root Rot: Biology and Control of Honey Fungus, R. Fox

- Fungal Decomposition of Wood, A. Rayner & L. Boddy

- Pathology of Trees and Shrubs, T. R. Peace

- Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment and Management, D. Lonsdale

- Fungal Strategies of Wood Decay in Trees, F. W. M. R. Schwarze, J. Engels & C. Mattheck

- Fungal-Plant Interactions, S. Isaac

- Textbook of the Diseases of Trees, K. Hartig

- Biological Control of Microbial Plant Pathogens, R. Campbell

- Defence Mechanisms of Woody Plants Against Fungi, R. Blanchette & A. Biggs

- Manual of Wood Decays in Trees, C. Mattheck & K. Weber

- Outlines of Fungi and Plant Diseases, F. Bennett

 

There are also many journal articles available through Google Scholar, some open-access, that also detail such strategies.

Hah! Massive bookworm. Cannot go wrong with books.

 

I do stand by my recommendations. If you really want strategy-specific books, opt for:

 

- Decay of Timber and its Prevention, K. Cartwright & W. Findlay

- Fungal Decomposition of Wood, A. Rayner & L. Boddy

- Fungal Strategies of Wood Decay in Trees, F. W. M. R. Schwarze, J. Engels & C. Mattheck

- Manual of Wood Decays in Trees, C. Mattheck & K. Weber

- Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment and Management, D. Lonsdale

 

If you can get your hands on the new VTA book by Mattheck, nab that up too.

 

 

'Decay of Timber and its Prevention, K. Cartwright & W. Findlay' is actually rather cheap on some websites (you know which). Wonderful book may I add. I think Lonsdale used some of that for Amenity Trees 7 (that's pure speculation on my part, may I stress).

£3-80 +p&p? Or have you found it cheaper on another website? Intrigued as to which websites you're referring now:)

I nabbed it for a few quid on Amazon a few months back, as did another user here. Abebooks probably also has some copies.

 

I have the 2nd edition from 1958.

Yep mine was Abe books

To answer the original post, Alan raynors paper- which I can't remember the name of, will probably be sufficient.

If you remember, let me know. Am curious...
