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.
Typical indications of dry rot include: 1  Wood shrinks, darkens and cracks in a âcuboidalâ manner (see picture) 2  A silky grey to mushroom coloured skin frequently tinged with patches of lilac and yellow often develops under less humid conditions. 3  White, fluffy âcottonwoolâ mycelium develops under humid conditions.
