  Définition

  Inwood, any rot in which the attack concentrates on the cellulose and associated carbohydrates rather than on the lignin, producing a light to dark brown, friable residue - hence loosely termed "dry rot" (deprecated term), as e.g. of Polyporus sulphureus.

  Note :

  An advanced stage where the wood splits, in shrinking, along rectangular planes is termed cubical rot, e.g. of Coniophora cerebella and Polyporus schweinitzii.
