I am not sure if you all saw this publication made by Gloria Maris recently:

Deterioration of Shell Collections - Causes, consequence and treatment by R.
de Prins

It has some explanations about Byne's disease, fungus, types of wood,
influence of humidity and lots more.

I got several issues for sale to my customers, and if you wish you may order
directly from the Belgian Society for Conchology with David Monsecour
