What's up with my wood
I've a few joists in the house that have what I thought was surface mould/mildew but I took a core and cracked it open.
What all this about then?
Terminal?
It sure doesn't weigh as much as I expected.
Dry rot?
thought it was something else
Closest thing I can find is Porodaedalea pini.
Could therefore be that the tree was felled like this back in the 70's when it was more prevalent in the PNW forests and was used as cheap lumber for the late 70's building boom.
Can't find much info about whether or not it's a major concern beyond reduced strength, which can be addresed
Could also be something different, but there is zero spread to other lumber in contact.
Came here hoping for an interesting new euphemism, leaving bitterly disappointed. ☹️

i was also fearing something fungus related and really hoping there wouldn’t be pictures
