Resumen de In situ inoculation of larch with the threatened wood-decay fungus Fomitopsis officinalis (Basidiomycota) - experimental studies
Jacek Pietka, Andrzej Grzywacz
Pilot studies aimed at devising methods of active in situ protection of Fomitopsis officinalis (Vill.: Fr.) Bond. & Sing. are described. Thirty healthy larches in the Rudka Sanatoryjna Nature Reserve and 20 larch stem sections in an open area of the Miñsk Forest District were inoculated with larch wood overgrown with F. officinalis mycelium. This trial of artificial infection can be considered successful, as live mycelium of F. officinalis was recorded from cut test trees and 14 stem sections three years after the experiment began.
