We analyze the structure of the Witt group of braided fusion categories introduced in Davydov et al. (Journal fur die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelle's Journal), eprint arXiv: 1009.2117 [math.QA], 2010). We define a super version of the categorical Witt group, namely, the group of slightly degenerate braided fusion categories. We prove that is a direct sum of the classical part, an elementary Abelian 2-group, and a free Abelian group. Furthermore, we show that the kernel of the canonical homomorphism is generated by Ising categories and is isomorphic to . Finally, we give a complete description of ,tale algebras in tensor products of braided fusion categories.
