The fungus that causes dry rot in North America is called Meruliporia incrassata (also sometimes called Poria incrassata). This pore fungus feeds on the cells of the wood that give it strength and stability.
Before attempting to tackle the problem and starting a course of dry rot treatment, itâs important to make sure that youâre dealing with dry rot, and not a form of wet rot. One major sign to look out for is shrinkage. If dry rot is the culprit, the wood will shrink and crack, usually in a rectangular pattern.
