We went into the large cellar to find the painting stuff [for "Brookside"; it needs totally re-decorating, preferably before we move in], and the pallet the boxes were on was infested with a horrible-looking fungus.
We took everything out of the cellar that had been on the pallet [upstairs I treated the floor with Cuprinol 5-Star, so I'm hopeful that it will all be OK; none of the plastic boxes seemed to have any fungus on them].
We moved the pallet to the garden and are leaving it there till we decide what to do [it looks just like images of dry rot fungus, so I wanted it out of the cellar].
The cellar is completely stone, and the floor above it is concrete and tile, so I'm hopeful it will just be a local infection, and won't spread to the rest of the house.
It's been so wet this summer, it's amazing that all the pallets down there aren't the same, and that we have no other instances about the place.
It's a definite 'fingers crossed' event...
We have the cellar as well-ventilated as possible, but with the ground like a giant puddle so much of the time, there's only so much we can do.
