The two most important aspen blue stain fungi are Ophiostoma crassivaginatum and O. piliferum. The secondary metabolites of the blue stain fungus O, crassivaginatum were studied in an attempt to obtain insight into the nature of the staining material. Several simple phenolic compounds were identified which, at least in part, can be responsible for the discoloration of aspen wood infected with this fungus (72).
