Reply to comment by LitLitten in Black fungus covering houses and trees blamed on Jack Daniels’ barrelhouses by kangarooturd

The fungus is not benign. It is only graceful mercy it is not directly harmful to humans. It will destroy any organic material left outside including porches and supports. The only way to remove it is to wash it with bleach and water and even then it will return in three months.

Bleach or vinegar? I'm unfamiliar with this fungus, but for removing mold from boats vinegar is the preferred method. Bleach leaves a background level of spores behind.

That is typically what fungi do.

The clarification was to help dissuade others from confusing baudoinia with stachybotrys, or black mold, which can pose an immediate health risk.
