Germination of basidiospores on preservative treated wood after leaching or natural weathering

IRG/WP 2150

J K Carey

In tests of residual toxic efficacy after leaching or natural weathering, spore germination with Gloeophyllum trabeum has proved to be a less reliable criterion of attack than when used with unaged preservative treatments. Since spores sometimes prove more tolerant than their parent mycelium, their use should be continued.
