Motivated by the mycologic situation, Dorosz and collaborators considered a modification of the totally asymmetric exclusion process, including the probabilities of injection and of death. In the case of the backward-ordered sequential dynamics with the death probability larger than the critical value, the average particle density in the stationary state was erroneously reported to equal the injection probability. Correcting the error, we find that the average density is given by the death probability rather than the injection probability. ©2010 The American Physical Society
