Serpula lacrymans (Dry Rot)
Description:
Know as Dry Rot in the UK, this shows the greyish coloured hyphae which spread to form mycelium growth which can penetrate masonry. There always has to be a food source, normally nearby timber damp but the mycelium can spead some distance to other timbers several meters away over time. The Mycelium also appears to transport moisture helping it to spread. Location Liverpool, United Kingdom, 2009
