Drug-resistant #Candida parapsilosis is an increasing problem in hospitals, but what traits help #fungus survive? This study shows that reduced #biofilm formation is repeatedly selected for during infection and helps C. parapsilosis evade immune defenses and persist in the host.

@skinnylatte "very Anglo fear of #mushrooms and #fungus" ...ahem, may I introduce you to a Brit who makes music with #fungi and cooked/ate his wonderful book about #fungi? Merlin Sheldrake ... and British #cuisine https://youtu.be/JJfDaIVl-tE?si=1FPvcFdbCWhzxURb
BTW, one of the best books about fungi. But not a cookbook. 🤭

Spuing
Fomes fomentarius
Tinder or horse's hoof fungus

These are the largest examples I've encountered of this fungus, the lower ones were much bigger than dinner plates (about 50cm across).

The first English common name comes from their use as natural fire lighters (nothing to do with a dating website). The fungus also grows in a shape resembling a horse's hoof.

This fungus was growing on a very large, long-dead beech tree.

Andropogon false-smut (Epicoccum andropogonis) growing on a grass spikelet. The fungus is feeding on the sugary exudate of a parasitic fungus (Claviceps sp.) that is infecting the plant. #fungus #fungi #grasses #monocots #parasitic #saprobic #nature #plants #botany #mycology #macrophotography

Golden ear (Naematelia aurantia) parasitizing false turkey tail (Stereum hirsutum). I really wanted to take this log home but people were looking. Rose Valley, PA, USA. #fungi #fungus #mushrooms #log #parasitic #mycology #biology #nature

Hunting the #ghostwort – a bryological Halloween tale
https://stories.rbge.org.uk/archives/39486

"It’s a myco-heterotroph, which means that it can’t make its own food, and instead obtains it from #fungi. In fact, Aneura mirabilis is an epiparasite – it’s #parasitic on an organism that’s itself a #parasite! The #ghostwort gets its food from a #fungus called Tulasnella. This fungus in turn forms an ectomycorrhizal association with the roots of nearby #trees, usually birch"
