| has gloss | (noun) a fungus causing dry rot dry rot |
| has gloss | eng: Dry rot refers to the decay of timber in buildings and other wooden structures caused by certain fungi. In other fields, the term has also been applied to the decay of crop plants by fungi and the deterioration of rubber. It would appear to be a paradoxical term seemingly indicating decay of a substance without the presence of water. However, its historical usage dates back to the distinction between decay of cured wood in construction, i.e. dry wood, versus decay of wood in living or newly felled trees, i.e. wet wood . In addition, the term can be used as a metaphor for grave underlying problems within a large organization (such as political corruption in government or low morale in the armed forces) that show no symptoms until a sudden, catastrophic failure, much as dry rot of wood in ships caused catastrophic failure. |

| has gloss | dan: Brunmuld kaldes det brune, terningeagtige trøske, som opstår i træer, der er angrebet af cellulose-nedbrydende svampe. Da cellulosen er det hvidt farvede stof i veddet, bliver kun det brunfarvede lignin tilbage. Brunmuld kan fremkaldes af en lang række svampe, og det er altså ikke noget sikkert symptom på, at en bestemt svamp har angrebet veddet. |

| has gloss | deu: Die Braunfäule (auch Destruktionsfäule) ist eine Form der Holzfäule. Bei dem durch holzzerstörende Pilze hervorgerufenen Prozess wird vorwiegend Cellulose abgebaut, die einen der Hauptbestandteile des Holzes darstellt. Das Holz verliert dadurch an Festigkeit und Masse und entwickelt eine für Braunfäuleschäden typische, querrissige Struktur, den sogenannten „Würfelbruch“. |
