- Bamboo scrimber is one of the most emerging structural materials for future building applications andit possesses properties comparable to other natural wood-based engineered materials such as glulam,laminated veneer lumber and cross-laminated timber. The goal of this work was to study the decayresistance of bamboo scrimber against white-rot (Trametes versicolor) and brown-rot fungi (Serpulalacrymans). Bamboo scrimber samples were incubated in petri dishes with the wood-decaying fungiand the weight loss after 12 weeks was measured. The surface morphology of fungal-degradedbamboo scrimber was evaluated using optical microscopy. Based on the percentage weight loss,bamboo scrimber could be classified as highly resistant against bio-deterioration by white andbrown-rot fungi.
