True or False: Dry Rot refers to brown rot fungi infecting completely dry wood.

Dry rot specifically refers to the decay caused by brown rot fungi, which typically occurs in wood that has a moisture content of around 20% or more. These fungi thrive in conditions where there is some moisture present, as they require it to grow and break down the cellulose in the wood.

The term "dry rot" can be misleading, as it does not refer to dry wood but rather to a condition where the wood has been moistened at some point, allowing the fungi to establish and cause damage. Even though the term suggests "dry," it is essential to understand that the wood must have some level of moisture for brown rot fungi to effectively infect it.

The other options reflect varying interpretations of the context of dry rot, but since dry rot is fundamentally characterized by brown rot fungi impacting wood that isn't completely dry, the assertion that dry rot refers to such conditions is therefore incorrect. Thus, the understanding of dry rot in relation to moisture content and the specific conditions that favor brown rot fungi is essential in recognizing the correct answer.
