Global Frog Pandemic Affects The Poisonous Frog Adelphobates Galactonotus In The Brazilian Amazon
The poison frog Adelphobates galactonotus, endemic to the Brazilian Amazon, is infected by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes an infection known as chytridiomycosis. This infection attacks the animals' skin, preventing them from breathing. The individual in the photo is very thin and has difficulty moving. This fungus is a global pandemic among amphibians and has led to the extinction of several frog species around the planet, making this class of animal the most endangered. This frog is polychromatic and has more than 30 color variations; in each place of occurrence, it has a different color. This is the carrot morph, and it occurs in the Santo Amaro community, in Caxiuana Bay, on March 3, 2025, in Portel, Para, Brazil. (Photo by Rafael Guadeluppe/NurPhoto) -

Un champignon, baptisé Gibellula Attenboroughii, capable d'infecter et de contrôler le corps d'araignées-zombie a été découvert dans une grotte en Irlande du Nord
Pictures must credit: CABI A fungus that infects the brains of spiders and turns them into zombie-like creatures to infect others has been uncovered. The fungus, first noted by a natural history documentary making team, infects cave spiders and alters their behaviour to help spread its spores to new victims. A TV crew from the UK’s BBC made the discovery in an abandoned gunpowder store in Northern Ireland. The spider was identified as the cave-dwelling orb-weaver Metellina merianae. However the fungus was a new species later named Gibellula attenboroughii after British natural history broadcaster Sir David Attenborough. It followed an investigation by an international team of scientists led by Dr Harry Evans international not-for-profit agricultural and environmental organisation CAB International. The new fungus was then found in cave systems in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as well as on a related spider, Meta menardi, occupying different ecological niches within the caves. All the infected spiders were positioned on the roof or walls of the caves. These normally reclusive spiders are forced to leave their lairs or webs and migrate to die in exposed situations. The caves circulating air currents then carry the fungal spores to find new potential hosts. Picture supplied by JLPPA

Une batterie, imprimée en 3D, alimentée par une pile à combustible dite microbienne
Pictures must credit: Empa A 3D printed living battery made from fungus, needs feeding instead of charging. And the complete biodegradable unit could one day supply power to sensors for agriculture or research in remote regions. Once its work is done, it digests itself from the inside. Strictly speaking, the cell is not a battery, but a so-called microbial fuel cell. Like all living things, microorganisms convert nutrients into energy. Microbial fuel cells make use of this metabolism and capture part of the energy as electricity. Until now, they have mostly been powered by bacteria. Two types of fungus were combined to create a functioning fuel cell. There is a yeast fungus whose metabolism releases electrons complemented by a white rot fungus, which produces a special enzyme, allowing the electrons to be captured and conducted out of the cell. The fungi are not "planted" into the battery but are an integral part of the cell from the outset. The components are manufactured using 3D printing. Picture supplied by JLPPA

US space agency NASA is looking at growing homes for astronauts on the Moon and Mars — using fungi.
The concept has been selected for research into providing accommodation for future explorers.
Some habitats, such as landers and rovers, will be delivered to planetary surfaces.
However, the fungi project team is developing technologies that could “grow” habitats on the Moon, Mars, and beyond using fungi and the underground threads that comprise the main part of fungi, known as mycelia.
With this development, explorers could travel with a compact habitat built out of lightweight material containing dormant fungi.
By adding water, fungi can potentially grow around that framework into a fully functional human habitat, while being safely contained to avoid contaminating the environment.
A team of researchers at the NASA Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley will receive new $2 million USD funding for the habitat research.
OPS: Fungi in a NASA lab. When given food and water it is capable of growing. It is also fire retardant and an excellent insulating material.

OPS: Bricks produced using mycelium, yard waste and wood chips as a part of the myco-architecture project. Similar materials could be used to build habitats on the Moon or Mars.

A doctor inspects a patient of Mucormycosis or black fungus in a dedicated ward for similar patients at Noble Hospital, Hadapsar on May 22, 2021 in Pune, India. The infection, Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus is fungal infection afflicting thousands recovering from Covid-19 in India, where doctors are running out of an antifungal drug used to treat it.
