Wood decay experiments
The decay ability of five isolates from Japan, four isolates from Europe and one isolate from New Zealand was investigated by measuring wood mass loss after 60 days of growth on three different substrates, Abies lasiocarpa (fir), Pinus sylvestris (pine) and Picea abies(spruce) according to Balasundaram et al . (2018). The included isolates are indicated in Table 1. Three to ten replicates were included for each isolate.
