Summary:Assessment of brown rot decay is one of the most important issues within remedial treatment of attacked wood constructions. Pilodyn is a well-established tool for the assessment of density of several commercially important plantation species, therefore the authors were interested in its suitability to evaluate rate of decay as well. The Pilodyn measurements performed on Norway spruce wood exposed to several brown rot fungi clearly indicate correlations between needle penetration and mass loss.
