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 often happens in buildings and can cause catastrophic damage to the structure. How Dry Rot Spreads. Dry rot needs moisture in order to grow inside wood; therefore, it needs continued moisture to spread. When dry rot affects a piece of wood, the rotting part will often fall off. At this point, more of the wood is exposed, which allows dry rot to continue to spread. Dry rot needs moisture content in the wood of about 28% to 30% in order to continue growing. If you can effectively eliminate the source of the moisture, you will be able to stop the dry rot. You can also use antifreeze or other commercial products to eliminate the dry rot.
