How a Wood Decaying Fungus decay the wood
🍄 Fungi are the main organisms responsible for wood decay.
🍄 Wood-decay fungi can be classified according to the type of decay that they cause like brown rot, soft rot, and white rot
🍄 Dry wood will not decay because wood decaying fungi can't be activated without moisture.
🍄 When fungi decay wood, the process involves breaking down of complex chemical compounds, primarily cellulose and/or lignin.
🍄 Fungi secret digestive enzymes and other
chemicals for breakdown and digestion of these food products.
