Abstract
For demonstrating the basic scientific background of wood decay by fungi and its application, the most convenient and didactically most effective examples are fungi which spontaneously occur in school and university areas. In this project an ongoing survey of wood-decay macroscopic fungi on the campus of National Taiwan University serves as representative example of fungi occurring in urban areas. In addition to an accompanying lecture for providing the background. At the same time, basic scientific standards such as data of specimens, cultivated strains, and DNA sequences were introduced. In contrast to courses for which textbooks and protocols already exist, the presented concept was developed and adjusted newly. The content covered knowledge of wood anatomy and systematics of wood-decay fungi, and classification of wood decay by fungi as well as the different strategies of fungi with focus on the principle of high specificity of the interaction between fungi and the tree tissues. The CODIT model is introduced as concept for describing the response of the living tree to wood decay. The methods of investigating wood decay in the tree were compared. Fifteen students (including a foreign student and one from Hong Kong) joint the course, provided weekly oral reports and attended weekly written self-tests and a written exam. Parallel to the lectures, the students formed groups, collected and characterized a wood-decay fungus by host tree, morphology and molecular data, made conclusions about the safety of the infected tree, and presented the results in a report at the end of the term. Because of the covid-19 situation, parts of the lectures and self-tests, as well as the end term report were conducted online, while other lectures and tests and a demonstration of wood-decay fungi on the campus were onsite. The course was given bilingual (English, Chinese). The written teaching materials were in English and deposited in an online repository of the university. The language of the weekly reports was chosen by the students, the final report was in English.
