Because it is exposed to the elements, the wood you use must be able to withstand exposure to the sun, heat, cold, rain and snow, plus it needs to be resistant to fungus and insects. Below is an overview of the various woods recommended for outside wood trim and a cost-benefit analysis of each type of wood. These costs are only for the wood; you will have to figure in labor and design costs separately. Of all the woods for exterior applications, western red cedar is usually a top choice. It resists decay and insects. Additionally, it can be stained or painted. Its natural look works well for fascia boards, corner boards and trim around windows and doors.
Fungal diseases are often caused by fungi that are common in the environment. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. Mild fungal skin diseases can look like a rash and are very common. Fungal diseases in the lungs are often similar to other illnesses such as the flu or tuberculosis.
An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by agents whose activities harm the host's tissues (that is, they cause disease) and can be transmitted to other individuals (that is, they are infectious).ogether with bacteria, fungi fulfill the indispensable role of decomposers in the environment. Many fungi also infect plants and animals. Examples of diseases caused by fungi are ringworm and histoplasmosis (a mild to severe lung infection transmitted by bat or bird droppings).
