Based on the survey on the fields and pathogen isolation, more than ten species of root- and wood-infecting fungi were founded to be associated with the decline of these ornamental woody plants. According to the isolation frequency in descending o r d e r, there are Phellinus noxius, P h y t o p h t h o r a spp.(including P. parasitica, P. palmivora, P. citro p h t h o r a, P. cinnamomi and others, G a n o d e r m a spp.(including G. australe, G. tro p i c u m, G. lucidum and others, Rosellinia necatrix, K retzchmaria clavus, P. punctatus, R i g i d o p o ru s m i c ro p o ru s and S c l e rotium ro l f s i i. Besides, a total of 12 species of unidentified fungi including 7 species in Aphllophorales and 5 species in Xylariaceae were also isolated. Most of these rootinfected fungi belonged to wood decay fungi in Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes, except P h y t o p h t h o r a spp. and S. ro l f s i i. Among them, P. noxius, which was detected from more than 50% wood decay samples, is the most destructive and widely distributed. Key words: Tree decline, Phellinus noxius, Rosellinia necatrix, Ganoderma spp., wood decay fungi
