I can find no references in the PH to any "wood-to-dust" spells
(after searching carefully minutes ago).  The only thing possibly
even close is "warp wood", which is second.  That doesn't turn doors
to dust, however.

Unless you're running in a "nature-boy" underground, it has been my
experience (from watching people trying to play druids while I gleefully
had my mages throwing fireballs and hastes) that they are much less
effective in the general case.  Take that door, for instance.  A mage
has a knock spell (second level door-opener).  You don't need to
disintegrate the wood - a knock will work quite nicely, thank you.

Out of curiosity, what sort of level rating do you think that spell,
"disintegrate wood" should have?

There are cases where a druid is unquestionably the master of a situation,
but that "disintegrating door" trick sure wasn't one of them.
