Deck is on South Side. So it sounds like that Fungus is coming back with or without the trees. Does anybody think cutting them down would help?

It's humid down here... try bleaching the deck. Water sealant too.

Probably not unless they are creating a very thick cover and preventing airflow...

Do they block out ALL sun on the deck? Are they so thick and surrounding that they block out all airflow?

Sounds like your deck isn't sealed, so water absorbs into the wood and stays there.
