Holzfäule- und Bauholzpilze

The comprehensive, richly illustrated reference work is a practical guide for identifying wood-destroying fungi and construction wood fungi in buildings and during the remediation of damage caused by these fungi. True dry rot and other wood-decaying fungi, such as cellar fungus, leaf fungi, and pore fungi, pose a threat to wooden structures in buildings. They often cause significant, often preventable damage, thereby discrediting the attractive building material wood. Damage can be purely superficial, as with blue stain or slime fungi, or severe when true rot fungi are present. The book assists builders, architects, and contractors in diagnosing the specific damage and helps avoid mistakes during remediation. It covers the growth conditions required by fungi, the types that occur in buildings, and how to identify them.
