Wood Decay Diagnostic Research Project
The Wood Decay Diagnostic System is a state of the art, DNA-based,
multiplex PCR method that can detect and identify many important wood rot fungi
including:
- Armillaria
- Ganoderma
- Hericium
- Inonotus/Phellinus
- Laetiporus
- Perenniporia fraxinea
- Pleurotus
- Schizophyllum
- Stereum
- Trametes

This assay can identify decay agents in standing trees as well as from downed
trees. It will also detect multiple decay fungi in individual trees. Now you can
assess the situation before trouble strikes.
This approach will become the gold standard for detecting wood rot fungi and is
suitable for arborists, tree care professionals, property owners, and
municipalities.
