Wet rot

Name for several species of fungus

Wet rot is a generic term used to define a variety of fungal species, such as Coniophora puteana and Choanephora cucurbitarum. Some species obtain their food by breaking down the cell walls of wood, resulting in a loss of its strength. This can cause problems in the structural integrity of structures. The species C. cucurbitarum affects the flowers and fruit of crops, such as amaranthus and okra.
