Traditional knowledge suggests that fungi growing in a wounded aquilaria tree may cause Agarwood formation. Different types of fungi have been suggested including:
• Phialophora parasitica,
• Torula sp.,
• Aspergillus sp.,
• Penicillium sp.,
• Fusarium sp.,
• Cladosporium sp.,
• Epicoccum granulatum, Cylimndrocladium,
• Sphaeropsis sp.,
• Botryodiplodia theobromae,
• Trichoderma sp.,
• Phomopsis sp., and
• Cunninghamella echinulata.
With all of these fungi suggested as a possible cause and no clear definitive research to show that a fungus is responsible for Agarwood to form, researchers have indicated "that aguru arises from a much more generalized cause than previously envisaged" (Gibson, Bano Biggyan Patrika 6:16-26 (1977)).
Agarwood is derived from the diseased timber of Aquilaria spp of the family Thymelaeaceae. Cutting or burning may be the way to infect fungi naturally in the wood tissue in vivo tree. The fungus Melanotus flavolivens has successfully been used to induce artificially the formation of Agarwood in Aquilaria sinensis in vivo. When the wood tissue of A. Sinensis was infected with the fungus M. flavolivens the color of infected wood tissue was first change from white to brown.

- Aquilaria crassna, A. cumingiana, A. beccariana, A. hirta, A. malaccensis, A. microcarpa and A. rugosa
- Neighboring genera of the same family: Aetoxylon, Amyxa, Gonystylus, Gyrinops, Phaleria and perhaps genera Linostoma and Wikstroemia produce a resin after infection with fungi into the phloem and then spread to hardwood species with resin production into the phloem after fungus infection.

users can have an improved immune system, making them healthier overall. What more can you ask from a supplement that works holistically at a price you can afford? If you are still doubtful, you can try to read reviews and feedback’s from the other users as well. Since the supplement is a product of careful study, you can almost be sure of its effectiveness.
