Wood-decay fungus. Wood decay caused by Serpula lacrymans (called true dry rot, a type of brown-rot) A wood-decay fungus is a species of fungus that digests moist wood, causing it to rot. Some species of wood-decay fungi attack dead wood, such as brown rot, and some, such as Armillaria (honey fungus), are parasitic and colonize living trees. Fungi that not only grow on wood but actually cause it to decay, are called lignicolous fungi.
