Abstract
Wood is an essential natural resource, but its durability is threatened by xylophagous fungi such as Chlorociboria aeruginosa and Captivating Cluster Funnel. This study aims to structurally analyze Persea americana (palto) wood affected by these fungi, evaluating their effects on physical and mechanical properties. The research was carried out in Ahuaycha, Huancavelica, in the General Studies laboratory of the National Autonomous University of Tayacaja. Samples of affected wood were collected, which were subjected to a process of cutting, staining and microscopic analysis. The results indicate that Captivating Cluster Funnel causes severe deterioration, manifesting in a dark brown coloration and a significant decrease in structural strength. In contrast, Chlorociboria aeruginosa presents a moderate impact, with a blue-green coloration and a more localized effect on the surface layers of the wood. The findings underline the importance of implementing monitoring and control strategies to mitigate the damage caused by these fungi, as well as the need for advanced detection methods to preserve wood quality in various industries.
