Sažetak

Discoloration of wood is frequently caused by blue-stain fungi. Among them Aureobasidium pullulans and Sclerophoma pithyophila are reported as the most important staining organism. In previous researches, it was generally considered that blue-stain fungi do not influence mechanical properties. However, there were some
opposite results published as well. In order to elucidate this issue, specimens made of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) sapwood were exposed to two blue stain fungi A. pullulans and S. pithyophila for periods between two and eight weeks. FTIR, weight, colour and non-destructive modulus of elasticity measurements were performed before and after exposure. The results showed that blue stain fungi, besides considerable discoloration, do not cause any significant
damage to wood. Surprisingly the non-destructive MoE analysis showed that modulus of elasticity even slightly increase
after fungal exposure.
