Briefly covers: conditions influencing growth of fungi, the effect of decay on properties of wood, prevention of decay in sawn timber and timber yards, and the importance of protecting timber in use from exposure to damp. Species with a well-defined heartwood, such as oak, are in general more resistant than species, such as ash and beech, in which there is no well-defined heartwood.
Published December 1971, reprinted September 1980.
