Dead coarse woody debris (fungal food resources) on the forest floor is an ignition source for forest fires. The rate of decomposition of the debris is largely influenced by fungi, determining its residence time on the forest floor. We asked if southern pine bark beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis) atta...
