are breeding grounds for the fungi that cause scalp ringworm and many other fungal infections. Thankfully, the most common ...

While many terrestrial fungi have previously been found to degrade various types of plastic, the team of researchers from the UH Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST ...

Two of the most common foot fungi infections are tinea pedis and onychomycosis. Tinea pedis is also known as athlete’s foot or foot ringworm, and it can affect the skin on the feet, causing ...

From helping plants to colonize terrestrial earth to treating disease in humans, is there anything fungi can’t do? Chris Dart Neither plants nor animals, fungi are the most underappreciated ...

Underground fungal networks are “living algorithms” that quietly help regulate Earth’s climate. Now scientists know what makes them so efficient.

Some types of pathogens — notably bacteria and fungi — are typically present on the skin and cause no problems. But if they multiply too much, the immune system can no longer manage them.

Then came the observation than in fact lichen harbors two types of fungi—an ascomycete and a newly identified basidiomycete yeast. The team that had made this discovery has now found a third fungal ...

The researchers are also looking at other marine fungi to see if they, too, can eat different types of plastics that are harder to degrade and are larger sources of marine pollution. They hope any ...
