I guess it could eventually grow on dried bread, but fungi, and mold tend to like places where it is dark and moist. Dried out bread probably doesn't have enough moisture to encourage it to grow. Fungi is pernicious and will grow most places where conditions are right if given enough time.

The actual piece of bread, straight out of the bread wrapper, is moist and soft. Bread can be left out for a certain amount of time and start losing the softness and moisture, because the bacteria is on it. In a few days, depending on the environment it's left in, it will grow white or green fuzz. This is the bacteria. But if you were to toast a piece of bread until it was crunchy and not at all soft in any way, and left it out, nothing would really happen. There would be bacteria on it but without anything to host on, it would just sit on it and never sink in.

fungi cannot grow on dried because they need a certain amount
of moisture to survive

Because just like humans they need water. A lot of biochemical reactions, such as absorption of nutrients from the bread, are a lot more efficient in the presence of water. Or, that chemical reactions require water to be present to even react. Moreover, water makes diffusion of nutrients more freely.
Water-- , it is that IMPORTANT!
