ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to identify the species of mold fungi in untreated wood of Pinus spp. stored at laboratory conditions in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. For this purpose, 10 Pinus spp. wood samples were randomly selected for fungal structures identification by morphological spores and subsequently, these were isolated and sent elongation factor 1-alpha (EF-1α) sequencing for molecular identification. Five isolates were obtained from the genus Trichoderma and one isolate of Fusarium. These were identified by molecular analysis as belonging to the species T. atroviride and F. solani, respectively.
