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.
Dry Rot Rafter Repair. Dry Rot rafters are a common problem with homes. The dry rot is caused by lack of maintaining the paint on a fascia boards, leaky gutters and problems with the roofing just to mention a few. The best time to fix the dry rot on an eave or rafter tail is when doing a roof. It is a whole lot easier if the roof is off to do these types of repairs. I like to see the whole rafter tail removed from the plate to the gutter or fascia board.
