DRY ROT - WOOD DECAYING FUNGUS
“Dry rot,” is the decay of wood that is dead. If your home is made with dead wood, what will dead wood do? ...It will ROT! Dry Rot is caused by the attack of any number of fungi species, Poria incrassata, Merulius lacrymans, Coniophora cerebella, to name a few. Other more common names are brown rot, soft rot, and white rot. Fungus begins to grow on the surface of the wood and then begins to penetrate deeper and deeper, consuming the cellulose from the wood, leaving the wood "dry" and brittle.
