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! 🧵

Fungus on our walk yesterday morning before work. By the time I came home it was in full umbrella mode!

#Mimicry is always a cool #biology topic so this bit of #science news is a treat:
Fake zombies
As if spiders aren't creepy enough, or bug victims of the famous "The Last of Us" zombie #Cordyceps #fungus aren't creepier, we have now discovered a #spider #species which has decided its strategy for survival in this world is to simply *look* like a zombie spider fungus victim. To disgust predators and put prey at ease
It's called Taczanowskia waska
It lives in #Ecuador

#Chernobyl #Fungus Appears to Have Evolved an Incredible Ability
Clinging to walls of one of the most #radioactive buildings, scientists found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life.
Called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and some scientists think its dark pigment – #melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as #radiosynthesis.

Mushroom Nerds (and hobbyists, observers, etc): If you are in the greater Seattle area, consider coming to the Puget Sound Mycological Society's 2025 Wild Mushroom Show at Shoreline Community College, the weekend of October 25th and 26th.

There may come a time when I see an ad for cordyceps without thinking of The Last of Us, but today is not that day.
Nice try, little fungus.🍄🟫
(Yes, I know that’s a mushroom, not a fungus…but close enough?)

In #Arizona, a fight against a deadly #fungus is under threat from #Trump’s health policies
What one doctor’s quest to stop #ValleyFever says about America’s preparedness for climate-driven disease.
by Zoya Teirstein, October 2, 2025
Excerpt: "Valley fever is endemic to southern #WashingtonState, #Oregon, #California, #Nevada, #Utah, #NewMexico, #Texas, and parts of #CentralAmerica and #SouthAmerica, but nowhere are cases of the disease more common than in Arizona. After Arizona started mandatory laboratory reporting for valley fever in 1997, registered cases ticked up and down. But the number began trending upward dramatically in 2016. Then, in 2024, cases in the state exploded, hitting their second-highest total ever. More than 15,000 infections were reported — a 37 percent increase over 2023. California, which runs just behind Arizona in its annual valley fever caseload, registered a record-breaking 12,637 cases in 2024, representing a 39 percent increase over the previous year, which had already smashed a record set in 2019.
"Some portion of the rise in reported cases represents growing awareness among physicians and an associated surge in testing. The pace of new construction in #UntouchedAreas also plays a role.
"But the recent increase in cases has been so dramatic, Galgiani and other researchers across the West who study the fungus think another factor may be driving the trend: #supersoaker winter #monsoons followed by scorching summer #heat and #drought, a cycle made more intense by #ClimateChange.
"Because warmer air holds more moisture, monsoons and other major rainfall events pull in larger quantities of water vapor and produce heavier downpours as the planet warms. This physical fact has fueled a spate of #MonsterFloods across the U.S. and around the world in recent years. But the same warmth can conversely lead to drought by making the atmosphere 'thirstier,' or capable of absorbing more water from the land’s surface. Both conditions facilitate the spread of valley fever — the wetter conditions by encouraging growth of the #spores, and the drier by facilitating desiccation and soil disturbance.
" 'The main driver for us is certainly this very clear association for #coccidioides between heavy precipitation cycles followed by drought,' said George Thompson, a professor of medicine at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine who specializes in #FungalDiseases.
"And it’s not just valley fever that may increase its spread thanks to climate change. Peer reviewed research shows that fungal threats of all kinds are poised to emerge and thrive in a warming world."

This beautiful gall is made by the fungus, Rhytisma americanum. The common name is "American tar spot" to differentiate it from the other two members of the genus (in North America) that parasitize maples. The others are not nearly as pretty. 3/5 #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #inaturalist #acer #maples #fungus #fungi
