... brun foncé de la lignine et sa consistance est devenue rigide-cassante. On le brise facilement et il s'écrase sous le doigt si on le soumet à une forte pression. En outre, il se fissure de crevasses qui sont typiquement parallèles ou perpendiculaires au fil du bois et dessinent ainsi une sorte de quadrillage, comme on en voit sur le bois brûlé ( fig. 1). C'est de là que vient le nom de « pourriture cubique », que les Anglais appellent « dry rot », « cubic rot » ou « brown rot ». Elle attaque plus fréquemment le bois des ...

Results of research on the diversity of wood-rot fungi found in buildings and outdoor wooden engineering structures in Poland are presented in this article. A total of 47 species and genera of wood-rot fungi from Basidiomycota (19 brown rot fungi, 28 white rot fungi) and 1 genus from Ascomycota (1 fungus that does not cause wood decay) were found in damaged buildings. The greatest number of wood-rot fungi was reported on outdoor wooden engineering structures (33 species), followed by unoccupied residential buildings (30 species). The lowest diversity was found in occupied residential buildings (20 species). A total of 34 species and genera of fungi were found in all examined structures, out of which 17 species caused brown rot, 16 caused white rot, and 1 did not cause wood decay.

The paper presents the results of surveys on the diversity of wood-destroying fungi in buildings and wooden engineering structures outdoors in Poland. The respondents reported a total of 48 species and genus of wood-degrading Basidiomycetes . The greatest species diversity of wood-degrading fungi was found on open-air engineering structures (33 species), the second location in terms of biodiversity was unused residential buildings (30 species), the lowest biodiversity was found in the used residential buildings (21 species).The most common fungi in the buildings were Serpula lacrymans (24.8%), Coniophora puteana (14.1%) and Fibroporia vaillantii (13.8%). The prevalence of S. lacrymans and C. puteana in buildings in Poland is similar to the European average. The occurrence of indoor polypores group ( Amyloporia sinuosa, Fibroporia vaillantii, Neoantrodia serialis ) in Poland is twice as high as the European average. Donkioporia expansa , which is numerous in buildings in Western Europe, is sporadically recorded in Poland (0.1%).
... Tandis que le premier se développe uniquement dans des lieux fermés (habitations, mines et catacombes), les deux autres sont des espèces courantes dans la nature qui peuvent s'ins-taller de manière opportuniste dans les maisons. On les trouve généralement à l' état stérile, les fructifications étant assez rares (Fraiture 2008). Il semble que ces espèces aient besoin de plus d'humidité que la mérule. ...
... Sa répartition semble cosmopolite, mais est peu connue. C' est une espèce très rare qui, d'après les résultats de multiples observations de cinq mycologues, est en moyenne responsable pour 0,73 % des attaques fongiques dans les habitations (Fraiture 2008). Dans sa monographie sur le genre Conio phora DC., Ginns (1982) indique : « C. mar morata is known from nine specimens from the British Isles, France, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Italy and U.S.A. ». ...

Twenty six basidiomycete species are reported as new to Luxembourg, with comments on ecology, frequency, nomenclature and taxonomy. These include two cyphelloid species (Chromocyphella muscicola and Pseudolasiobolus minutissimus), five rarely collected corticioid species (Amaurodon cyaneus, Aphanobasidium subnitens, Coniophora fusispora, C. marmorata, Tomentellopsis pusilla), four other rare aphyllophoroid fungi (Ceratoba sidium calosporum, Inonotus obliquus, I. rickii, Lentaria byssiseda), one bolete (Imperator rhodopur­ pureus) and fourteen agaricoid fungi belonging to the genera Cortinarius, Deco nica, Lepiota, Leucoagaricus, Pseudolaccaria, Russula and Tricholoma. An rDNA sequence comprising ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2 has been deposited in the GenBank database for four of these agari-coid species (Cortinarius caroviolaceus, C. collocandoides, C. herpeticus and Pseudo laccaria pachyphylla). A new locality of Byssonectria fusispora, whose last documented observation dates back more than 30 years, is also reported. Finaly, an identification error is rectified: the species named Aphroditeola olida represented by a photo in the mycological notes published in 2015 is indeed Paralepista flaccida.
... La contamination du bois débute habituellement par la germination de spores transportées par l'air sur un milieu humide contenant de la cellulose (Coggins 1991;Fraiture 2008;Van Leemput 2008). Elles peuvent aussi être transportées par des humains, des animaux, des insectes xylophages et sur des fragments de bois contaminé (Hainaut Vigilance Sanitaire 2015). ...
... Elles peuvent aussi être transportées par des humains, des animaux, des insectes xylophages et sur des fragments de bois contaminé (Hainaut Vigilance Sanitaire 2015). Au début de sa croissance, S. lacrymans s'étend sous forme d'un mycélium blanc de consistance mince et translucide ou encore de consistance épaisse, ouateuse ou laineuse (Fraiture 2008). L'exposition à certains paramètres environnementaux, comme la lumière, lui confère des taches teintées de couleur jaune ou mauve; ultérieurement, le mycélium se transforme en un réseau de canaux gris-brun (Schmidt 2006;Singh 1999). ...

À la suite de la médiatisation de cas récents de contamination domiciliaire par la mérule pleureuse, Serpula lacrymans , nous examinons la prévalence historique de celle-ci au Canada à partir de données provenant des herbiers mycologiques et des collections de cultures de Ressources naturelles Canada en comparaison avec celle rapportée en Europe et aux États-Unis. À partir des connaissances développées en Europe sur la mérule, nous décrivons sa biologie, sa détection, la prévention de sa contamination et la restauration des bâtiments affectés dans le contexte réglementaire québécois et canadien.
Article
Fungi are ubiquitous and important biosphere inhabitants, and their abilities to decompose, degrade, and otherwise transform a massive range of organic and inorganic substances, including plant organic matter, rocks, and minerals, underpin their major significance as biodeteriogens in the built environment and of cultural heritage. Fungi are often the most obvious agents of cultural heritage biodeterioration with effects ranging from discoloration, staining, and biofouling to destruction of building components, historical artifacts, and artwork. Sporulation, morphological adaptations, and the explorative penetrative lifestyle of filamentous fungi enable efficient dispersal and colonization of solid substrates, while many species are able to withstand environmental stress factors such as desiccation, ultra-violet radiation, salinity, and potentially toxic organic and inorganic substances. Many can grow under nutrient-limited conditions, and many produce resistant cell forms that can survive through long periods of adverse conditions. The fungal lifestyle and chemoorganotrophic metabolism therefore enable adaptation and success in the frequently encountered extremophilic conditions that are associated with indoor and outdoor cultural heritage. Apart from free-living fungi, lichens are a fungal growth form and ubiquitous pioneer colonizers and biodeteriogens of outdoor materials, especially stone- and mineral-based building components. This article surveys the roles and significance of fungi in the biodeterioration of cultural heritage, with reference to the mechanisms involved and in relation to the range of substances encountered, as well as the methods by which fungal biodeterioration can be assessed and combated, and how certain fungal processes may be utilized in bioprotection.
