Been noticing a type of bracket fungus that seems to reinforce old oak beams—thought that might be a handy trick for the next build.
That fungus ain’t a structural hack, it’s the wood’s death march. It’s eating the grain, not holding it up. If you’re gonna use those beams, get them checked or replace them before the next project. Don't let a pretty growth fool you.
