Evaluation of different wood by-products for sustainable building biomaterial production using fungal mycelium
2022 - IRG/WP 22-50373
As human population increases, the demand for new innovative, sustainable, and low impact construction materials also grows. Mycelium-based composites have shown to be an excellent alternative for traditional products ranging from low-density objects to semi-structural applications. They also present the advantage of using the waste streams from other productive processes as feedstock, enabling th...

Interspecific variability of European oak durability against white rot fungi (Coriolus versicolor): Comparison between sessile oak and peduncle oak (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur)
2001 - IRG/WP 01-10393
The knowledge of wood natural durability against biologic predators enable its external use. The resistance of European oak wood was reported like durable according to the EN 350-2. However, some individuals may contain high durable wood. Our research was focused to understand this variability in oak population that represent the first french species (4.1 millions of ha). Natural durability of Eur...

Use of x-ray microdensitometry for assessing the resistance to the fungus C puteana of a hybrid larches population
2018 - IRG/WP 18-10923
The aim of this research was to utilize the X-ray microdensitometry to determine the natural durability and its variability of a hybrid larch population. The method was applied on slices obtained by increment cores collected on standing trees before cutting them down. The methodology was discussed also in order to propose as a new screening method especially suited for trees populations. X-ray mic...
