Heartwood decay is one of the major pathological constraints affecting the quality and marketable volume of tropical timber. A study on its behavior was conducted on Pericopsis elata in order to contribute to its sustainable management in Cameroon. Tree susceptibility to heartwood decay was evaluated using three diameter classes, based on allometric equations between decayed and healthy trees. Wood samples and visible macromycetes were taken from living and felled trees with an auger. Isolation of microfungi was performed on potato dextrose agar medium and their identification was based on the morphological and microscopic characteristics of the mycelium and conidia with reference to identification keys of mycology. Identification of macromycetes was based on their morphological characteristics as described in reference books on macromycetes identification. Results show that diameter class ]110, 120[ presented highly significant (P |
