Abstract
Our research focuses on identifying lignivorous fungus from decayed cedarwood. Asample was taken from Azrou forest's cedar grove, which is a part of Morocco's Ifrane National Park. On a water agar medium first, and subsequently a PDA medium, the isolated fungus was cultured and purified. After the fungus was purified, an optical microscope morphological analysis allowed us to identify the pathogen Alternaria tenuissima. Thesefindings were confirmed by a molecular characterisation, which had a coverage rate of 94% and an identity of 94,88%. This is the first report of A. tenuissimain decomposing cedarwood that we are knowledge of.
