CONT

Il arrive que l'on trouve du bois bleui en plus grandes quantités dans le commerce [...] La coloration bleuâtre ou noirâtre est provoquée par un champignon que transporte l'insecte, et apparaît souvent sous forme de traînées qui suivent le fil du bois. Cette coloration est sans danger, et elle n'affecte pas la résistance du bois.
