Some fungus. Some fungus. Where did it come from?

It's from a genus called Pachysoma.

This is extremely rare fungus.

You group similar species into a genus.

Dr Krauss is aware of genus command.

This is a fungus that's everywhere.

Fungus. And it is on a rampage.

There's a dreadful fungus that's moving through the world that's called the chytrid fungus, and it's nailing frogs all over the world.

The earliest members of our lineage, the genus Homo, were darkly pigmented.

These are two shots of a red tide coming on shore here and a bacteria in the genus vibrio, which includes the genus that has cholera in it.

So with the help of some biologists studying the fungus,

It's a protein... secreted by a fungus called Aspergillus Ticor.

This is a different species in the same genus but exactly the same foraging behavior.

I've tried a few experiments with plants and fungus. You got any samples?

Maybe I can group species into other categories. And that's where we get the genus from.

Just as in the case of star formation here in galaxy formation, genus length or genus mass are key concept to determine the scale of fluctuations that can actually grow or fragment in the smaller one.

We think that's probably what got this frog, and humans are spreading this fungus.

The Armillaria is actually a predatory fungus, killing certain species of trees in the forest.

I'll go down to the lab and bring you up some photos of my fungus experiments.

There are 13 species in the genus, and they have a particular behavior that I think you will find interesting.

You seriously believe a piece of fungus like you has got the stuff to become an officer?

But there are many wonders back in there, like this weird fungus on some of the collapsed timbers.

I finished my research on deadly pedicures, about the woman who contracted that fungus from the unsterilized tools.

And he says, the link to one site didn't just grow on the other page like a tree fungus.

And then he went even beyond that, because even the idea of grouping things into a genus dated back to the ancient Greeks.

So I'm not sure if there are any in this photo, but I do know the fungus is down there.

And then this back down on the ground and you can see that the fungus is actually invading this tree.

And feet in the water will develop fungus, infections, and that infection pains because then other insects bite that point.

Here you see a typical cucumber leaf that turned from green to black because of a black fungus, sooty mold, which is covering it.

A couple more days and we'll be back home in our verminfilled shack strewn with fungus and filled with the stench of mud and neglect.

It's also more benignly known as the honey mushroom or the humongous fungus because it happens to be one of the world's largest organisms as well.

Dr. Boyce, at the University of Chicago, published an article in the Journal of Geology this past year determining that Prototaxites was a giant fungus, a giant mushroom.

I got some maps and some GPS coordinates and chartered a plane and started looking for the death rings, the circular patterns in which the fungus kills the trees.

So it's much closer, in a way, to a data fungus, in a sense, wrapped around that page, than it is to a deliberate link that I've placed there.

They have their own tests, of course, and so they tested her for over 70 different assays, for every sort of bacteria and fungus and viral assay you can buy off the shelf

I don't have a clue how bad they are, but I know they are affecting already in the in certain plants, you know, like basil, cilantro, and sometime the broccoli get too much, uh, fungus.

So that white material that you see in between the bark and the wood is the mycelial felt of the fungus, and what it's doing it's actually slowly strangling the tree to death by preventing the flow of water and nutrients.

If an intelligent extra terrestrial was taxed with writing the encyclopedia of life on our planet, 27 out of 30 of these volumes would be devoted to bacteria and virus, with just a few of the volumes left for plants, fungus and animals, humans being a footnote interesting footnote but a footnote nonetheless.

And the very first day that this fellow, John Allen, walked in, to spend a couple of days in there with all the plants and animals and bacteria that we'd put in there to hopefully keep him alive, the doctors were incredibly concerned that he was going to succumb to some dreadful toxin, or that his lungs were going to get choked with bacteria or something, fungus.
