The objective of this study, to investigate decay resistance against
Pleurotus
ostreatus
and
Coniophora puteana
fungus of heat
-
treated (ThermoWood method) Scotch
pine, oak and beech wood species. Scotch pine (
Pinus sylvestris
), oak (
Quercus petreae
)
and beech (
Fagus orientalis
) wood species were heat treated at 190°C for 2 h, 212°C for
1 h and 2 h by the ThermoWood® method. Untreated and heat
-
treated specimens were
exposed to white
-
rot fungus (
Pleurotus ostreat
us
) and brown
-
rot fungus (
Coniophora
puteana
) for 12 weeks according to procedures defined in JIS K 1571 standard. After
weight losses of all specimens were calculated. According to the results, least weight loss
was determined on heat treated at 212°C for
2 h. Heat treatment can be used effectively
against fungal attack for Scotch pine, oak and beech wood species.
