Being an organic material, wood can be degraded by various biological factors. Fungi degradation is one of them. When the moisture content is above 20%, and there is enough oxygen and the temperature is between 20 C° – 27 C °, it is the most suitable medium for the fungi growth. The wood used for outdoors has a potential for decay because of usually being exposed to these conditions. We carried out a study about the degree of decay of wood exposed to outdoor conditions. In this study 256 measurement points were established and more detailed map was created using the data related to more years.
