Interactions between the two most common decay fungi of Populus tremuloides, Peniophora polygonia and Phellinus tremulae were studied. Pe. polygonia inhibited the growth of Ph. tremulae when grown in paired culture. The presence of a culture of Pe. polygonia reduced the growth of Ph. tremulae in a volatile metabolite test. A culture filtrate of Pe. polygonia reduced the growth of Ph. tremulae in liquid culture. The growth of both the fungi was inhibited, and they formed a dark brown line at contact point when grown on a Po. tremuloides block.
