Dry rot treatment Many of these organisations support the environmental approach, for example Dr. Brian Ridout’s book "Timber Decay in Buildings, The Conservation Approach to Treatment" being jointly published by English Heritage and Historic Scotland. Historic Scotland’s "Technical Advice Note 24" advocates the use of environmental treatment of dry rot, as does advice on the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Building's website. Damp (structural) Dry rot treatment Dry rot treatment refers to techniques used to eliminate dry rot fungus and alleviate the damage done by the fungus to human-built wooden structures. Dry rot ("Serpula lacrymans") is considered difficult to remove, requiring drastic
Serpula vigorous pumping movements of the abdomen and also by the activity of the ciliary tracts. The well-developed longitudinal muscles of the body wall of serpulids lack a special blood supply. The body surface in the larger serpulids, like "Serpula", has a rich blood supply, and the water in contact with this surface is constantly renewed. It seems probable that the outer body surface of serpulids serves as a respiratory membrane, supplying oxygen to the underlying muscles by diffusion. The biochemistry of the blood of "Serpula" is especially unusual in that the blood contains not only hemoglobin, but also chlorocruorin. While
