Fungus clean-up

The Serpula lacrymans is an example of brown rot conceiving mould and is also called dry rot. Brown rot demolishes cellulose in wood, which causes the wooden parts to become seriously weak. The Serpula lacrymans looks like white to grey tissue on the surface of the wood. Threads of fungi are mostly visible (mycelium). Besides that, the fruiting body contains brown/red traces (layers of dust). The Serpula lacrymans is a fast growing kind of fungus and is very destroying.

The cellar fungus is also an example of brown rot conceiving mould. The mould threads are mostly dark brown or black. The fruiting body is rarely occurring. The cellar fungus affects the wood seriously and weakens the floors is a fast pace. At the surface, sometimes only a brown tissue is visible.

The white pore fungus expresses itself like white, cotton-like tissue. This is also a brown rot conceiving mould. The white pore fungus mostly affects deciduous and coniferous wood. The fungus thrives on very damp, badly ventilated spaces with bad lighting.

Brown rot is a deterioration in wood which is caused by wood harming moulds. The wood harming mould is dependent on the moisture content and the soil. Not every deterioration comes with fungus formation. As soon as the climate is suitable for brown rot conceiving moulds, fungi can easily arise. Characteristic for brown rot is a cubic/block shape.
