White Fungus On Spyderwood?

I have a recently set up 55 with a pretty big centerpiece of spyder wood. The spyder wood has that white fungus on it.. I've been told its fine you can take it out and remove that or just let the wood run its course.. as long as this fungus will not harm my fish its been on the wood for about 2 weeks now.. it has covered the wood entirely and I'm wondering if anyone knows how long till this fungus disappears?

I am guessing the wood is underwater?
When you say "white fungus" I would like to see a photo, is it fuzzy? is it a mushroom? is it a cake????

90% of the wood put in aquariums goes through a period of this snotty looking covering. It's cyanobacteria that live on only 1 chemical in the wood and they are harmless to the tank inhabitants. The good news is there is not that much of that particular chemical in the wood and the cyanobacteria grow so fast that they will starve themselves to death soon and disappear on their own.

Hey thanks so much for the information.. so what ive noticed today is acouple big pieces of the fungis are floating around the tank so I'm guessing its starting to die off and fall off.. ive also noticed its starting to get stuck in my intake on my HOB ugh gonna have to end up servicing that due to this silly fungus meanwhile I only have 1 fish in there!
