Deterioration of the rug pile and foundation over the years when it becomes dry and brittle. Also caused by liquids or moisture remaining on a rug for an extended time causing the rug to rot.
A reddish fungus that afflicts wooden antique chairs and other pieces of furniture that has been stored in wet conditions. It causes wood to become weakened and unsightly. The affected area will shed brownish dust and will quickly spread over an entire piece if unchecked.

A fungus that attacks structural and joinery timbers, often with devastating results. Can flourish in moist, unventilated areas.
Wood decay caused by a fungus that consumes the cellulose portion of the wood, leaving a soft skeleton that readily crumbles to a powder. Wood structures that are inadequately ventilated and constantly exposed to moisture are especially vulnerable to dry rot.
Wood rot caused by certain fungi. Dry rot can result from condensation build-up, roof leaks that go untended, or from other problems. Dry rot will not remain localized. It can spread and damage any lumber touching the affected area.

Dry rot is an almost oxymoronic term given to the decay of a substance without the presence of water. The term has been applied to the decay of timber in timbers by specific fungus, the decay of crop plants by fungi and the deterioration of rubber. In addition, the term can be used as a metaphor for grave underlying problems within a large organization (such as political corruption in government or low morale in the armed forces) that show no symptoms until a sudden, catastrophic failure.
