Both hardwoods and softwoods can spalt, but zone lines and white rot are more commonly found on hardwoods due to enzymatic differences in white rotting fungi. Brown rots are more common to conifers, although one brown rot, Fistulina hepatica (beefsteak fungus), is known to cause spalting among deciduous trees. [2]
Each year, the fungus kills the callus material formed by the tree and invades more cambium during the growing season. [4] During the summer months, the fungus is also able to produce asexual spores called conidia that are dispersed by the wind to be used as secondary inoculum to infect other maple trees in the area. Upon dispersal, they ...

[2] It has a widespread distribution, being found in North America, Eurasia, and Australia, where it causes a white rot in the heartwood of living and dead hardwood trees.
The fungal pathogen Cristulariella depraedans is found in Europe and North America and mostly affects trees in the genus Acer.Trees affected in Germany and Britain are primarily the sycamore (A. pseudoplatanus) and the Norway maple (A. platanoides), while in North America the most affected are A. platanoides, the red maple (), the sugar maple (A. saccharum), the silver maple (A. saccharinum ...

Climacodon septentrionalis, commonly known as the northern tooth fungus or the white rot fungus, is a species of shelf fungus in the phylum Basidiomycota. [2] It is white in color and can be found in large clusters on the trunks of trees. [3] This species is a plant pathogen native to North America. [2]
Inonotus dryadeus is a parasitic saprobic fungus, [1] with spores entering wounds on broadleaf trees (predominantly oak, although sometimes maple, elm and chestnut). [4] The fungus is primarily a root decay fungus, rotting the below−ground parts of roots. Detection is often difficult if the conks have not developed.
Sawadaea tulasnei is a fungus that causes powdery mildew on tree leaves. This fungus attacks the leaves of the Acer platanoides (Norway maple) in North America, Great Britain, and Ireland, Acer palmatum (also known as the Japanese maple or smooth Japanese maple). [34]
