Changing title as per suggestion.

I'd suggest something like, What problems might occur attempting to glue wood that hasn't been fully seasoned? | |

Epoxies won't glue well to anything damp so they're very much countra-indicated here, and the commonest woodworking glues (PVAs, both white and yellow) bond less well to wood that's not below a certain MC, but note they do work well across a wide range. On the other hand though, foaming polyurethane normally requires that one side of the joint be moistened to activate the glue properly, so for that type of glue damp wood can be a positive advantage, not a detriment. | |

While this is a gross simplification it does give you some inkling that you haven't yet waited nearly long enough for the wood to be as dry as it can get but this is only IF the wood was green when you got it. If the wood was already dried, even if only partially, the picture is completely different. | |
