Abstract	Western redcedar ( Thuja plicata Donn.) outer heartwood blocks from a mature and an immature tree, inoculated with fungi commonly isolated from stained heartwood, had a thujaplicin content of less than 6% and a hot water solubility of about one-half that of controls after 10 weeks of exposure. Decay resistance of blocks from the mature tree was greatly reduced following exposure to the staining fungi. Naturally stained heartwood also had low thujaplicin content, but its decay resistance remained high in the same test.
