Summary Pulverized, undecayed wood was shown to be, in general, inhibitory to attempts to use enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in detecting and quantifying the decay fungus Postia placenta (Fr.) M. Lars. et Lomb. Nevertheless, the assay was still able to adequately detect the presence of P. placenta at a greater than 1: 10,000 dilution even in the presence of 0.1 g/ml spruce wood. The use of polyvinyl pyrrolidone did not improve ELISA performance but adsorbent polystyrene had some effect on the assay sensitivity.
