I think the rot just started. There are 2 spots that were soft. I used a clean knife and scraped down past the dark mush to clean wood. It never "bled" any latex but maybe its cuz it was at the trunk? Cleaned it with peroxide. Should i get some kind of fugucide to spray on it? Tape it closed or let it dry out? Supposed to be a hot sunny day near 90° for the next 6 days. No rain! Maybe full sunny days will help?
