Fungus Damage - Wood Destroying Organism

You might not think that fungus would be important to a Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Report. However, a WDO report isn't just for findings such as drywood or subterranean termites. A WDO Report includes all Section I items that are wood destroying organisms, which includes fungus, water damage and dry-rot.

What is Fungus?

Fungus or dry rot are organisms that attack wood and other organic matter. Moist areas support growth of fungus and dry rot.
