Stain capacity of three fungi on two fast-growing wood

We investigated the stain of fast-growing wood (Cunninghamia lanceolate, CL; Paulownia, PT) inoculated with three fungi (Arthrinium phaeospermum, AP; Vibrio anguillarum, VA; Aspergillacea, AS) to explore the new wood dyeing ways and the better combination of wood and fungi for dyeing. Only AP could dye on CL and PT. Especially for CL, its percentage of internal spalting, percentage of external spalting and dyeing depth were the highest (48%, 15% and 5.06 mm, respectively). Surprisingly, the bigger weight loss occurs on PT. The results showed that the dyeing effect of AP dyeing CL was the best, and the wood color change was obviously (Orange to dark red). AP could produce more pigments than the other two fungi (VA; AS), CL was more suitable for fungus staining than PT, indicating that AP could offered a new potential market and a chance for areas to earning higher income for CL. This research paves the way for improving color change was obviously (Orange to dark red). AP could produce more pigments than the other two fungi (VA; AS), CL was more suitable for fungus staining than PT, indicating that AP could offer a new potential market and a chance for areas to earn higher income for CL.
