Extensive growths of Armillaria mellea rhizomorphs were observed in timber supports in a coal mine shaft in Kladno, Bohemia. Laboratory and in situ experiments on wood protection were conducted. The fungicides Lastanox Q and Universal proved effective. Imperfect fungi such as Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus niger, and Cladosporium avellaneum also showed inhibitory effects on rhizomorph development.
