I have some fungus between sistered joists under my deck.
It is white and looks like spray-foam insulation.
Unfortunately, it isn't.
It seems like an important joist, since it was sistered and it supports the top of the stair.
It is about 7 feet off the ground and I can walk underneath.
This is a very very damp part of my house, since I am adjacent to wetlands.
I'd hate to pull up the decking and replace this joist, since it probably means I have to take lots of the deck apart.
There is also one other joist with similar issues.
Any advice on what to do next?
