Diagnostic Notes Symptoms The fungus penetrates the root of Douglas-fir through intact bark and initiates decay in the xylem. Symptoms are not unlike those caused by other root pathogens. The fungus produces a thin layer of cream to dark yellow mycelium covering the outer bark of infected roots. Older infected trees may live in a slowly declining state for many years, whereas 10-15-year-old trees are usually killed within 3 or 4 years. Crown symptoms appear as the root system is destroyed Trees eventually topple from weakened supporting roots, although they usually still have green crowns when they fall. The fungus continues to spread to adjacent trees across root contacts. The mortality front advances about 30 cm a year. Decay of wood, which begins as a reddish- brown stain, is characterized by delamination of the wood along the annual rings (Hansen 2000, Hagle et al. 2003, Crop protection Compendium 2005) The fungus: There are two forms of the pathogen, which are referred as Phellinus weirii sensu lato. Recently, the Douglas- fir form, that causes laminated root rot in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and other conifers in North America, has been recognized as Phellinus sulphurascens Pilát, a fungus described originally from Siberia. Since then, the cedar form, that causes butt rot in western redcedar (Thuja plicata) in North America, is referred as P. weirii sensu stricto (Larsen et al. 1994). Phellinus weirii sens. lat.: “Carpophore annual, more rarely perennial, entirely resupinate, firmly attached to the substrate, 5-15 cm broad, 5—15(—20) mm thick, fulvous to ferruginous, darkening with KOH, at first soft, soon coriaceous. Pore surface greyish brown to dark ferruginous, with a white pruinose covering, uneven. Pores 5—7 per mm, round to irregular, often oblique; edge entire to fimbriate. Tubes typically non-stratified, occasionally up to four lengths; each layer 3-10 mm, ferruginous to cinnamon brown, brittle. Basidiospores 3.6—4.5 (—5) x 2.7—3.5 (4 x 3) µm, subglobose to short ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, non-dextrinoid, cyanophilous. Basidia 7—12 x 5—6 µm, short clavate, bearing four short sterigmata. Setae present, abundant, 20—40 x 6—12 µm, subulate to subventricose, thick-walled, projecting up to 20 µm beyond the hymenium. Hyphal system monomotic. Generative-hyphae 2—6 µm diam., sparingly branched, with a slightly thickened brown wall, lacking clamp-connexions. Setal-hyphae present, very abundant in both context and hymenophore, 5—10 µm diam., up to 3 mm long, with a thickened wall (1.5—2.5 µm) and a subacute apex” (Pegler & Gibson 1972). Larsen et al. (1994) have stressed the differences between the two pathogens: P. sulphurascens usually occurs on conifers other than western redcedar, resulting in death of the host. Its basidiocarp is usually annual with sporulation in late summer/fall, basidiospores with one germ tube, germ tube and juvenile mycelia 4.5-6 µm in diameter and no columnar tufts of hyphae in test tube cultures at 6 wk; whereas P. weirii s. str. occurs usually on western redcedar, basidiocarpo usually perennial with sporulation in spring/mid-summer, basidiospores eventually with two germ tubes, germ tube and juvenile mycelia 2-3.5 µm in diameter and columnar tufts of hyphae present in test tube cultures at 6 wk. These two species can de distinguished by PCR-based identification methods (Lim et al. 2005). Notes: Synonyms of Phellinus weirii (Murrill) Gilb. sens. str.

The new species is characterized by an effused-reflexed to pileate basidioma, golden-yellow-ferruginous pore surface, tiny pores, dimitic hyphal system with thin-walled hyphae encrusted at dissepiment edges, mostly uncinate or hooked hymenial setae, and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores.

  • Genetics of Sexuality and Population Genetics of Phellinus Weirii
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Peter Andrew Angwin for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Botany and Plant Pathology presented onJune 2, 1989 Title: Genetics of Sexuality and Population Genetics of Phellinus weirii Abstract approve dRedacted for Privacy Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilbertson, cause of laminated root and butt rot, is a heterothallic basidiomycete lacking clamp connections. Two biological species groups of the fungus have been hypothesized, the Douglas-fir and cedar-types, on the basis of physiological, morphological and epidemiological differences. Single-spore and vegetative isolates differ in cultural morphology, nuclear composition and growth rates, but variation among isolates makes it impossible to accurately identify the ploidy of individuals. Pairings of single-spore isolates in culture produce a wide range of reactions, from formation of darkly pigmented barrage lines to no visible change in morphology. Back-pairings of interacted mycelium from single-spore pairings with completely compatible homokaryons reveal that P. weirii follows a bipolar, multiallelic system of mating compatibility. Single-spore and homokaryon-heterokaryon pairings followed by back-pairings demonstrate the genetic isolation between Douglas-fir and cedar-type isolates, confirming the biological species hypothesis. Existence of a third Asian species is suggested by the lack of interaction of two Japanese isolates with both Douglas-fir and cedar-type tester homokaryons. Protein banding patterns obtained by SDS polyacrylimide gel electrophoresis show overall similarity between the three types but differ at several band locations. The Douglas-fir-type isolates were found on Douglas-fir and six other host species, including western redcedar. The cedar-type isolates were mostly confined to western redcedar, but were also identified on western hemlock and grand fir.
