Biodegradation of wood in dual cultures of selected two fungi determined by chopstick method.
Wood was more effectively degraded in dual cultures of Pycnoporus coccineus with either Flammulina velutipes, Pleurotus ostreatus or Polyporus arcularius than in their single cultures based on the weight losses of chopsticks. The similar effects were attained in dual cultures of the selected Basidiomycetes and various soil fungi.
