  1. Mouse studies find that the filamentous form of the common fungus *Mucor racemosus*, when present in the gut, confers some protection against radiation by producing amino acids that support DNA repair (L-glutamate, L-aspartate, and DL-lysine), and also promoting the production of radioprotective methionine by an intestinal bacterium.

  2. Today’s #SciArtSeptember prompt is the colour saffron which made me think of a particular yellow-orange mushroom. This is a hand-carved lino block reduction print of a clump of poisonous, Eastern jack-o-lantern mushrooms (Omphalotus illudens) on a hardwood tree stump. The gills of these North American mushrooms are bioluminescent and glow green. My print has a layer of glow-in-the-dark ink so it too glows! 🧵

  17. #mites of the #Astigmata (#Acariformes) are soft-skinned. Their thin #cuticle is sensitive to #drought, which is why they avoid leaving their mostly #moist #fungus- and bacteria-rich #habitats. For the purpose of #dispersal, a modified instar, the #deutonymph, with stronger cuticle and other specific #adaptations #evolved, performing #phoresy, the transport most often via larger arthropods.

  18. Historical outbreaks of #CoffeeWilt disease linked to gene transfer from another fungus phys.org/news/2024-12-historic

    Horizontal transfers between fungal #Fusarium species contributed to successive outbreaks of #coffee wilt disease: Lily Peck et al. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/

    "The #fungus that causes coffee wilt disease repeatedly took up segments of DNA from a related fungal pathogen, which contributed to successive outbreaks of the disease."

  19. British woodland mushrooms cosplaying as Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico lilies.

    Anyone who can help me identify this cluster (beech and mixed woodland, UK), your help is much appreciated!
