Got a problem with a oak gate post, Last two years a very mushroomy smelling fungus has grown inside the photo cell unit shorting the circuit board each time, any suggestions as to a fungicide to help, it grows out of the hole drilled trough the post for the wire.

I cannot help with a fungicide, they don't like copper, but bloody marvellous how the hyphae have conformed to the shape of the box. I suppose the weight of the fungus will be a few times less than the oak it has consumed.
