Which word means decay of wood?
Rot, e.g. Dry rot has set in to the timber framework of the roof...... or, the tree is dead and has gone has rotten.
Why don't living animals rot?
Living animals do not rot because they have biological processes that maintain their tissues and organs. Once an animal dies, bacteria and fungi start breaking down its tissues, leading to the decomposition process known as rotting.
What is the difference between white rot and brown rot?
White rot fungi are able to break down lignin along with cellulose and hemicellulose in wood, resulting in white-colored decay. Brown rot fungi primarily degrade cellulose and hemicellulose in wood, while leaving behind lignin, resulting in a brown-colored decay. White rot fungi are more effective at decomposing lignin compared to brown rot fungi.
Can Epsom Salt be used to cure Blossom End Rot?
Yes! It worked well for me. I have tomatoes and cucumbers with end rot. I put two Tums tablets and a tablespoon of epsom salt in a gallon of water and watered them with it. I used about the same amount I would if I were watering regularly so I had to make three or four gallons for the size of my garden. Two days later the cucumbers that had begun to shrivel were starting to expand again and there are new tiny ones growing on the vine next to the dead ones that had dried up. It worked really well. I can't see a difference in the tomatoes yet. Next year I'm going to add lime or bonemeal to the soil a month or two before I plant so I wont have this problem again.
What is the difference between Brown rot and White rot fungi Give examples as well?
Macroscopically the white rot will appear as white spots on the wood, indicating that it has eaten up all the lignin and left the white cellulose behind. It does eat away the cellulose and hemicellulose too, but the lignin is delicious to them. It will appear fibrous, stringy, and spongy with the white pockets present. Brown rot is the opposite and it eats the cellulose first and doesn't do much to the lignin. it is brown in colour, and the fibrous texture is lost quickly. There is a much greater diversity of white rot, but brown rot can reduce the weight of a tree much faster than white rot. Microscopically, the fungi's hyphae secretes enzymes which attack the S2 and S3 layers of the wood and move into the tracheids. It will destroy all layers from the lumen out to the middle lamella. for Brown rot, there is extensive degradation of cellulose...the S2 layers degrade fast, but the S3 layer is more resistant. The fungi (examples to come) eat all the carbs (cellulose& hemicellulose). examples of brown rot include Gelophyllum sepiarium and Oligoporus placenus. examples of white rot include Trametes versicolor and Phellinus pini

Are you soft when your dead?
I can imagine your skin would be just the same as it was before texture wise when you are dead. The only thing that really changes is the color and pigmentation of your skin, from it going to a more bluer color if you are lighter, and it turning cold of course. When you are put in a casket your skin will rot and disintegrate anyway as time goes on by.
