Intro
This suggestion is about some ideas concerning tree abuse, and ways to damage logs.

Starting
When you right click a naturally spawning wood block (world spawn or sapling in origin, not placed as this could aid in griefing severely as will be seen later in the suggestion) with a mushroom it will turn into a block of actively rotting wood, appearing identical in every respect to the current rotting wood. you can also get passively rotting wood by crafting up to 8 logs with a mushroom in the neutral CT. both types should be mined faster than wood, in fact likely faster than dirt as well.

Active
Actively rotting wood is natural wood that was right clicked with a mushroom, it will spread at a speed about 1/4 of that of fire, and will not destroy wood blocks, but will destroy leaves. It turns wood that it is touching or at a diagonal with into actively rotting wood however, not leaves, and destroys them because there is no longer live wood to support them. It will eventually turn into unactive rotting wood though to reduce lag in massive trees made to rot.

Unactive
What spawns into the world, what is crafted, and what you get from breaking actively rotting wood. Basically what is currently in the game. ==Fangorn=

Burning
Upon initiating a fire in fangorn (flint/steel, fire charge, fire orc bombs, flaming arrows (if ever made to light fires), khamul's fire, or at a drastically lower amount of loss fire pots) you should lose massive amounts of fangorn alignment. yeah, that's pretty much it, ents hate fire, you would basically become public enemy #1 if you did that.

Rotting
Upon initiating rot in fangorn you will also lose large amounts of alignment, but not as much as fire. yup, that's it, this would basically be starting a plague in the ents minds, also public enemy #1.

The dowsing of fires and cleansing of rot
If you have not initiated rot or fire in fangorn you should be able to gain minimal amounts of alignment be removing these horrors (active rot, not inactive) from fangorn (they spread, so you could end up getting large amounts of align anyway)
