Three main decay defects in Taiwan cypress trees are described. A large white pocket rot, caused by Echinodontium taxodii, in red cypress was most common and caused extensive decay in areas being logged. A less extensive small white pocket rot occurred around the hollow butts of red cypress. No basidiocarps were found and cultures from the rot could not be identified. A brown rot, mainly of yellow cypress, yielded cultures of Veluticeps berkeleyi.

Two wood-staining fungi were isolated from Dendroctonus adjunctus- killed ponderosa pines in southeastern New Mexico. One is described as a new species of Ceratocystis and the other as a new specie...

Twenty species of wood rot fungi were isolated from or collected on specimens of decayed wood in boats, barges, tugs, schooners, motor boats, etc., and sporophores of several additional species kno...

A fungus commonly identified as Piggotia Fraxinli Berk. & Curt. is among those most commonly and most widely found on the foliage of ashes throughout the United States. It appears appropriate herein to designate it Piggotia leaf disease of ash, since this stage of the causal fungus is most prominent and is best known to collectors. This disease is especially prevalent in nurseries and on small trees in the forest, but occurs also on large forest and shade trees. All of the more common species of ash are subject to attack, including white ash, Fraximi.s americaina L. (identical with F. acuminata Lam. and F. lanceolata Borkh. in some of the older collections) ; green ash, F. pennsylvanica Marsh. var. lanceolata (Borkh.) Sarg. (identical with F. viridis Michx.) ; Oregon ash, F. oregona Nutt.; and black ash, F. nigra Marsh. (identical with F. sambucifolia Lam.). During the past few years our contacts with those interested in forest-tree nursery diseases and our examination of collections in herbaria show that this leaf disease occurs in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin, and Virginia. Furthermore, a consideration of pertinent mycological studies shows that the taxonomy of the pathogen is in a confused

The common American hardwood staining species of Endoconidiophora previously referred to E. coerulescens Munch, a conifer fungus, is shown to be a distinct species and described as E. virescens. An...

Two species of the Ophiostomataceae group of wood-staining fungi are reported on sapwood of coniferous lumber in the western United States. A species very similar to Endoconidiophora coerulescens b...
