Scanning electron micrographs of the hyphae of Piptoporus betulinus in timber of Betula pendula. Hyphae of Piptoporus betulinus (Bull, ex Fr.) Karst. were photographed in naturally infected timber of Betula pendula Roth by means of scanning electron microscopy. The hyphae had an average diameter of 3μm and a cell wall thickness between 0.4 and 0.7 μm. The dissolution of the cell wall by specific fungal enzymes can be extremely well studied using scanning electron microscopy.
