Brown coloured fruiting body which releases spores. Location House Cellar, Liverpool, United Kingdom, Aug 2010, also with a type of beetle apparently eating the fungi. The black area appears to be where the fruiting body has died off, maybe due to lack of moisture or that area has simply finished releasing spores.

Know as Dry Rot in the UK, this shows the greyish coloured hyphae which spread to form mycelium growth which can penetrate masonry. The brown areas are fruiting bodies that release the spores. There always has to be a food source, normally nearby timber damp but the mycelium can spead some distance to other timbers several meters away over time. The Mycelium also appears to transport moisture helping it to spread. Location Liverpool, United Kingdom, 2009
