I can understand your confusion. The terminology "dry rot" is misleading in
the sense that rot will not occur in wood without moisture. I don't know the history behind the use of 'dry rot' but all it really means is rotted wood that has dried out. There are a number of microorganisms that can initiate rot in wood but not without the presence of moisture.

I ran a google search for it and found that it said it treated dry rot. What is the difference between dry rot and not dry rot are they caused by different fungus'? Is there a wet rot? If so how do you tell the difference between the 2. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
