Pancake-shaped dry rot (Serpula lacrymans) fruiting bodies on a ceiling. Also note salt efflorescence to bricks due to moisture ingress. Fruiting bodies are very delicate and require almost perfect conditions of darkness, stillness and dampness to achieve this classical appearance. Their sensitivity means that, while still distinctive, they are usually they less well-formed, see variations in other photographs under this topic. The appearance of a fruiting body means that an outbreak is already well-established. |
