[Greenbuilding] Foam insulation advice needed

[Bob Klahn]

How is that different from what happens now when the roof/wall leaks?  
I've never noticed much insulation value from that.  In fact, the 
moisture reduces the thermal resistance.

When I first read of the fungal insulation, I couldn't understood how 
the 'insulation' was deactivated so a leak wouldn't spur new growth.  
Still don't.
