What species of mold has the morphological characteristics and microscopic features as shown in the picture?

I had conducted an in vitro experiment to test the efficacy of different chemical fungicides agains the Sclerotium rolfsii pure culture. I observed that some chemicals completely inhibited the formation of sclerotia whereas some did not. Upon counting the number of sclerotia, media plates poisoned with the same level of a chemical fungicide showed variation in terms of the number of sclerotia produced. Is sclerotia number unpredictable under similar culture conditions too? Or could there be other reasons?

Hi every one I

need to help me to diagnosis this fungi

2. If we are simply typing the genus of any scientific name (like Rhizoctonia) then it should be in italics or not?

Please answer these. Thank You.

I am new to the mycology world and have been looking for resources to learn general introductory information from. My project largely involves plant pathogens including Fusarium species. If you have any books, videos, online courses, etc that have helped your or your students' learning, please drop the titles/links here!

Thanks!

Hi there;

I work with white rot fungi (P. ostreatus in this case) to measure the biodegradation of organic contaminants in polluted matrices. Before I subject the fungi to any contamination, I grow it in stationary liquid glucose peptone media in the dark at 25˚C for 14 days. Then I decant the old media, refresh with new GPM and put in the polluted media. That grows for 5 days with constant shaking. I notice after ~2 days that there is this goo that forms on the mycelial mat (it has the consistency of snot). It seems to be fungal in origin but since I'm not a mycologist and don't have an expert to consult with at my university, I'm wondering if someone could tell me what this is?

When I rinse the fungal mycelia with milliQ water, the goo sloughs off but retains it's shape for the most part. Another note, when I grow the P. ostreatus in just water, there is a lot less of this substance than if I grow it in GPM (see picture)

If you have any ideas or thoughts, please let me know!

While isolating pathogenic fungi from foliar part and stem of a plant, I have found two isolates which resembles Trichoderma spp. from colony morphology. These isolates also were found after performing pathogenicity test and re-isolation. I am so confused regarding the findings

Hi everyone. I would like to grow Fusarium oxysporum f.sp cubense TR4 on PDA media. I planned to add antibiotics to prevent bacterial contamination. So far as I searched, most people recommended streptomycin and chloramphenicol, which are not in my hand at the moment.

May I know if ampicillin or kanamycin can also be used for this purpose? If they do, what would be the appropriate working concentration?

Thank you!

I know some of them like biorender. But biorender is not free and I am not good at illustrator. Can anyone suggest what should I do?
