Hypoxylon truncatum showed itself to occupy a larger area than Lentinus edodes in low‐moisture‐content stem segments inoculated with both fungi, but the result was just opposite under high moisture conditions. Their mycelial growth and decay rates indicated that H. truncatum is more tolerant of dry circumstances than L. edodes. .
