found two Claviceps-parasitising fungi on the same plant in September this year. Fusarium heterosporum which colors the whole Claviceps sclerotium orange was the second. It has nice banana-shaped 3-septate conidia. #fungifriends

Me sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
Me losing branches to a storm and then having them get fusarium when I graft them: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

“Fusarium graminearum”, a toxin smuggled into the US by a Chinese scientist now facing charges, is a fungus that can wipe out wheat and barley crops. A research professor of plant pathology says the case highlights serious vulnerabilities in American agricultural biosecurity: buff.ly/nggAjSd
What is Fusarium graminearum, the fungus a Chinese scientist pleaded guilty to smuggling into the US?
When Fusarium graminearum infects wheat, it can pose a risk to humans, animals and agriculture.

Panama disease, or Fusarium wilt, is caused by Fusarium oxysporum, a parasitic fungus capable of making spores that can remain infectious in soil for 20 or more years.
The fungus wiped out the cultivar Gros Michael ("Big Mike") from production in the 1950's, forcing a switch to resistant Cavendish.

We report a human cell-free translation screen that identified NT-2, a Fusarium mycotoxin that blocks human ribosomes.
The surprise: NT-2 does binds the ribosome and pushes them into a dormant state.

RIP all my okra crops.
I received a crash course on "fusarium wilt," a fungus that doesn't show up until it's hot and your okra's about to pop off and bless you with pods. The plant goes from in its lane and thriving to half yellow and dead FAST. Always fatal 😔
Gardening is hardddd wtf

The plant disease in this case is Fusarium gramineum, which… is already in the US!
Matter of fact I was talking grain with an NC mill a couple weeks ago, & they pointed out "We like [cool new wheat strain] BUT it's prone to vomitoxin."
That's from Fusarium gramineum! It's already here!

Research to stop fusarium is normal and good. DoJ needs serious evidence of weaponization to make the charges stick. You know who did try to weaponize Fusarium? US drug warriors under Clinton and Bush. They found a strain they claimed “only” attacked coca and tried to release it in the Andes.

In the 1990's, a new variant of Fusarium wilt began threatening even the resistant Cavendish cultivar: Tropical Race 4 (TR4), and quarantine seems the only way to contain it.
The fungus can also infect grasses, travels on the wind and rain & can sporulate.

Innes wrote a letter of support to the attorney of Chinese researcher Yunquing Jian, who was caught transporting a sample of Fusarium grain fungus without proper permits last year. Kash Patel and friends have been using this as an opportunity to accuse China of planning some kind of bioterrorism.
Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

I was cloning a wood ear mushroom that I foraged recently. One of my plates was contaminated, so I let it grow. Then I thought I should definitely photograph it against a lamp and share it here. Perfect for @contamclub.bsky.social
The red/pink pigment is likely produced by Fusarium mold.
