Abstract

Douglas fir pole sections exposed at four air-seasoning sites in the Pacific Northwest were extensively sampled for Basidiomycotina each year for 3 yr. Poles were rapidly colonized by a variety of Basidiomycotina, but four taxa tended to dominate. Two of these, Antrodia carbonica and Postia placenta, are also important in deterioration of Douglas fir poles in service, while Stereum sanguinolentum is found in wounds on live Douglas fir trees and Peniophora (sensu stricto) spp. are colonizers of woody debris. A. carbonica and P. placenta predominantly colonized the heartwood at the ends and upper halves of the pole sections, whereas Peniophora spp. and S. sanguinolentum were uniformly distributed throughout the pole sections in the sapwood. Although the frequency of isolation of the four fungi varied among sites, colonization patterns were consistent.
