Sandal logs after removal from the natural stands are stored in depots pending sale. During this storage they are heaped in the open, exposed to the elements; consequently the logs are attacked by a number of basidiomycetous fungi; mainly the attack is on sapwood, rarely heartwood is also affected. In view of the value of sandalwood, it is necessary to protect the logs to prevent deterioration of both sapwood and heartwood.
