- Abstract
- As wood is prone to fungal degradation, fundamental research is necessary to increase our knowledge aiming at product improvement. Several imaging modalities are capable of visualizing fungi, but the X-ray equipment presented in this paper can envisage fungal mycelium in wood non-destructively in three dimensions with sub-micron resolution. Four types of wood subjected to the action of the white rot fungus Coriolus versicolor (Linnaeus) Quélet (CTB 863 A) were scanned using an X-ray based approach. Comparison of wood volumes before and after fungal exposure, segmented manually or semi-automatically, showed the presence of the fungal mass on and in the wood samples and therefore demonstrated the usefulness of computed X-ray tomography for mycological and wood research. Further improvements to the experimental set-up are necessary in order to resolve individual hyphae and enhance segmentation.
