The article deals with the succession and interaction of three fungi which most frequently cause white rot on beech wood: Schizophyllum commune, Chondrostereum purpureum and Hypoxylon fragiforme. The loss of weight was measured after the test specimens had been exposed to different combinations of the fungi for one, two and three months. Results show that the greatest decay was caused by Hypoxylon fragiforme regardless of the number and the strain of the fungi that followed. The most particular interaction occurred between Hypoxylon fragiforme and Schizophyllum commune and appeared as unequal wood decay. In the interaction between Hypoxylon fragiforme and Chondrostereum purpureum the medium and wood were coloured turquoise blue.
