The main types of micro-organisms colonizing and decomposing wood and the main types of decay and their prevalence in nature from standing trees to slash are described. White rot is the dominant decay of deciduous wood. Decay of coniferous forest products is caused mainly by brown rot fungi but on both living and dead conifers in nature the white and brown rot fungi are equally responsible for most of the decay.
