Describe how wood can be attacked by fungi.
What will be an ideal response?
Wood can be attacked by fungi (microscopic plants) that cause decay, molds, and stains. Fungi develop in wood when the moisture content is above 20 percent, temperatures are mild (40 to 100 degrees F), there is sufficient oxygen, and the wood provides an adequate food supply. Wood in the ground is exposed to moisture, oxygen, and a rather uniform mild temperature, and therefore ideally situated for fungi attack (decay). Wood submerged in water lacks an adequate supply of oxygen.
