Because I'd assume that all the pieces of infected wood would have to be moving at the same time to generate friction. > "Moreover, we were able to significantly increase the maximum output current (≈ 205 nA) by connecting 30 wood sponges in parallel to each other, making a demonstrator suitable for wooden tables or floors." which is at 0.69V
