Red rot

Red rot

Red rot may refer to a number of degenerative processes:

*Red rot (leather)
*Red rot (brass), a process where the zinc in brass allows degrades leaving the metal brittle
*Red rot, a late stage of wood decomposition where small chunks of decomposing wood (usually from a fallen tree) turn red in colour, and later break down to a fine red mush that will clump together if squeezed
