Causative factors are then analyzed, followed by descriptions of interactions like antagonism, succession, and mycorrhiza. A more practical section describes damage to trees by viruses and by bacteria on the xylem of trees and on structural timber. Wood discoloration caused by molds and stain fungi, wood decays by rot fungi, and preservation methods are also covered. The habitats of wood fungi are described as well as tree care. Important tree pathogens and wood decay fungi are characterized for prevention and identification. The final section focuses on the positive effects of wood-inhabiting microorganisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Wood and Tree Fungi\" provides an up-to-date overview of the various wood and tree fungi that damage trees, lumber, and timber, with special focus given to identification, prevention, and remediation techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst, the fundamentals of cytology and morphology, growth and reproduction, formal genetics, and enzymatic wood decay are addressed.
