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.
Because dry rot is not able to sustain itself on timber that is below 20% moisture content the primary control measure for any dry rot outbreak is to identify the cause of excessive moisture, eliminate it and allow wetted areas to dry out rapidly in well ventilated conditions.
