Fungus – Scientific name: Fungi This forum discussion will be focusing on Mycelium and how it may be used in the construction/building industry. Mycelium are large groups of hyphae, hyphae are the branching filaments or clusters of single cells in a fungus that grow in a web like structure and is the main vegetation part of the fungus. A hyphae is formed when a single female and male fungi fuse and the spore germinates. The fruity or flowering part of the fungus is a mushroom. Fungus is a decomposer

in Salem would put fungus, unknowingly, into their food without knowing what it could do to them or if there was a cure for it.  The only explanation for the girls action in the Salem Witch Trials is fungus because the townspeople act strangely,the cold weather causes fungus growth, and the ergot rye fungus was used in the process of making dough. When people say that fungus is the reason for the girl’s actions, they are not being specific.  There are millions of food fungus’ in the world,

Introduction/Background Cryptococcus neoformans is a basidiomycetous yeast fungus that is enclosed with a polysaccharide capsule. C. neoformans can undergo sexual reproduction that is due to crossing α- and a-mating types, resulting in the formation of sexual spores or basidiospores (Buchanan and Murphy, 1998). It is an intracellular pathogen that affects more than one million individuals, resulting in over 700,000 deaths per year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). Individuals

Introduction The following paper covers the nutritional options for the fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The taxonomy of the species is Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. The ecological role of most fungus is a consumer. It grows on an organic material and pull the required nutrients out of it furthering decomposition. S. cerevisiae is a heterotroph that consumes digestible saccharides from its environment

Characterization and Control of Pestalotiopsis sp the Causal Fungus of Guava Scabby Canker in EL-Beheira Governorate, Egypt. ABSTRACT During 2013-2014 growing seasons, forty three isolates of Pestalotiopsis spp were recovered from guava leaves and fruits showed scab symptoms from different regions in EL-Beheira governorate. Five Pestalotiopsis species were recognized according to the morphological characteristics of fungal colony (Colony color, Size and number of acervulii) and conidia (Length, Width

the control/water can’t kill fungus you would need some type of alcohol chemical or even our daily hand soap to kill the fungus. The experiment wasn’t quite what we were expecting because we thought the fungus would grow more on the control and soap, but the soap didn’t get a whole bunch of fungus. Another thing that didn’t we expecting was the hand sanitizer because it was 70 percent ethyl alcohol so we were expecting less fungus than we got. Our hypothesis was if fungus grow on soap, water, or hand

invasive species. However, there may be a way to cease the harm caused by invasive species using genetic modification. One example of an invasive species is Xenopus laevis, or the African clawed frog. These frogs carry a fungus called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Chytrid fungus infects amphibians with chytridiomycosis by attacking the part of a frog’s skin that contains keratin. Frogs use their skin to

Endophytic fungus morphology and molecularly identification This study aimed to isolate prospective beneficial endophytic fungi from its host extreme hot desert plant and investigate their potential roles in heat stress tolerance under field conditions. A thermophilic fungus was isolated from the roots of an extreme hot desert-plant delile cullen pilicata, Aswan governorate, Egypt. The climatic environments in this region ranged between moderately cold dry winter to very hot dry summer (Abdelrahman

CAUSES This condition is caused by a fungus. Several types of fungi can cause the infection. These fungi are common in moist and warm areas. If your hands or feet come into contact with the fungus, it may get into a crack in your fingernail or toenail and cause the infection. RISK FACTORS This condition is more like to develop in: • Males. • People who have diabetes. • People who are older. • People who live with someone who has the fungus. • People who walk barefoot in
