Some parts of that stain in pic 3 look to be pretty dark... mold?

I didn't think that the flake board was sealed to the rafter... maybe glued though.

You can pick up a moisture meter pretty cheap at Amazon or probably home depot/lowes. That would tell you if that would had picked up mosture or it was just some kind of discoloration that was on the original wood. You could also use it to poke at other suspect places.
