G It doesn't matter if one spore or 10 million land on the wood, it's going to decay if the condition are right.
it's the environmental conditions (moisture, light, temperature, O2, etc) that determine if and how fast wood decays, and how healthy a tree is that determines the success of compartmentalization of wounds.
You seem to think it's the number of wood decay spores present.

I think we are both right. The number of spores is one factor, along with the ones you mention. considering the billions that one conk emits, it makes sense to bury them.

Ekka, If you think about how wood is structured, like a bundle of straws, filled with water, you'll realize wood is already wet. Live wood doesn't absorb water, it's saturated. Wood is also very flexible, watch a tree in the wind. It's even flexible in the middle of 35 degree below zero Fahrenheit winter.

At 35* below and you're out in the woods you can hear the trees cracking in the freeze, sounds like gun fire.
