The use of fungal pigments as color additives to wood as a method to increase forest revenue is a relatively new, but quickly developing field. Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is currently the primary utilized hardwood for spalting and appears to be the best suited North American hardwood for such purposes. The combination of Trametes versicolor and Bjerkandera adusta has been identified in several instances as a strong fungal pairing for zone line production; however, Xylaria polymorpha is capable of creating zone lines without the antagonism of a secondary fungus. Few fungal pigments have been developed for reliable use; Scytalidium cuboideum is capable of producing a penetrating pink/red stain, as well as a blue pigment after extended incubation, and Chlorociboria sp. produces a blue/green pigment if grown on aspen (Populus tremuloides). Several opportunities exist for stimulation of fungal pigments including the use of copper sulfate and changes in wood pH.
真菌色素作为木材颜色添加剂的用途是一个相对较新但发展迅速的领域。糖枫（Acer saccharum）是目前主要用于腐朽的硬木，似乎是最适合这种用途的北美硬木。在几种情况下，已确定Trametes versicolor 和 Bjerkandera adusta 是生产分区线的强有力真菌组合；然而，Xylaria polymorpha 能够在没有拮抗二次真菌的情况下产生分区线。很少有真菌色素被开发用于可靠的用途；Scytalidium cuboideum 能够产生穿透性的粉红色/红色污渍，以及在延长培养后产生蓝色色素，而 Chlorociboria sp. 如果在白杨（Populus tremuloides）上生长，则会产生蓝色/绿色色素。存在几种刺激真菌色素的机会，包括使用硫酸铜和改变木材 pH 值。
