#sporulation

[aadamantine]

whenever i say sporulation in mold class i say it like flawed peacock says stimulation. SPOR-U-LA-TION!!!

who else up doing bacillus shit (curling up into a dehydrated little ball that doesn’t do much of anything due to inhospitable surroundings)

[artgletic]

theyre rly funny

[shroomsnail]

researchers trying to grow and isolate arctic microbes 🤝 cyanobacteria 🤝 lichens 🤝 some fungi 🤝 obligate intracellular bacteria 🤝 some protists 🤝 vbnc bacteria 🤝 archaea 🤝 strict anaerobes 🤝 literally anything that isnt pseudomonas or bacillus. pesky lil mfs (microbial friends)

After this fact one need not be surprised at the diffusion of the far lighter and smaller sporules of cryptogamic plants.

its a beautiful baby Arcyria sp. :-)

a wee slime mold has invaded my mushroom growing tub !! why hello there handsome …. 😻🦠

Is there a way to test soil for coccidosis before introducing chickens? Or is it more of a "you get chickens, & find out" type of issue?

Coccidia is naturally in the soil and in the gut of chickens in a harmless form. You can assume some type of it is everywhere and there is no safe soil treatment to get rid out it. Chickens aren't the only animal affected either other animals get sick with it as well but chickens are always scratching and pecking at the ground and their own poop which is why they pick it up so easily. Coccidia is actually normally harmless it isnt in-till a bird sheds the oocysts and they have the right conditions to sporulate and THEN a bird ingests them again do they become a problem. Every chicken is bound to be exposed eventually, even indoor chickens.

[“One of the drivers behind rainfall is something very curious indeed: fungal spores. The group of fungi that produce mushrooms, called basidiomycetes, grow through an osmotic inflation process, their hyphae bonding together and filling with water in order to “bloom” above the soil. Once the mushrooms have developed, tiny stalks (basidia) grow underneath the mushroom cap, culminating in tiny spores. A drop of water forms between the gills under a mushroom’s cap. Finally, the water droplet condenses against the spore, jettisoning the spore out of the mushroom.

In his book Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World, mycologist Paul Stamets estimates that the force with which mushrooms eject spores is ten thousand times the force undergone by astronauts as they exit the gravitational pull of Earth’s orbit. Some land many inches away from the original mushroom. But most are buoyed upward by the wind, into the sky. Spores are practically invisible, a shimmer of dust, vaporous. But while they are tiny, they are numerous. More numerous than just about any other organic component in the atmosphere. Every year, around fifty million tons of spores enters into the atmosphere. Some of those spores will immediately land in the dirt and begin, hypha by hypha, to root into the underworld. But millions of tons of spores do something else entirely. Some make it fifty miles up into the air and ride the currents for weeks. They follow the wind. And, like the storm gods, they generate rain. Sugars on the spores’ surface cause water to condense around them once they have been ejected. Spores become a nucleus of sorts in a floating water molecule. These water-coated spores bump into each other, again and again, millions of times, until they accumulate into rain clouds.

In experiments conducted in closed laboratory settings with a variety of different mushrooms, spores created an atmosphere with a relative humidity between 101 and 102 percent, the same oversaturation conditions found in clouds. Researchers concluded that fungi are a key part of a feedback loop in forests and rainy regions. Fungi need damp environments in order to fruit up into reproducing mushrooms. These mushrooms release billions of spores that create clouds. These sporulated clouds, in turn, drop rain down into these environments, creating the perfect mushroom conditions. Whole tropical ecosystems are intimately coordinated by these invisible swarms of spores. Given these facts, we can surmise that as we degrade soil and destroy underground mycelial communities, we are not only harming the ground, we are harming the sky. The source of rain isn’t always above our heads. Sometimes it comes from below our feet.”]

my dryer has a dryness setting that has to be manually adjusted to "fully dry" every time you use it Does anyone know the meaning of this? thankyou i want my clothes to still be slightly damp so i can maximize my mildew output. i wanna be sporulating

Fast Fauna Facts #6 - Hay Bacillus (Bacillus subtilis)

Family: Bacillus Family (Bacillaceae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed

These pill-shaped, non-pathogenic bacteria are extremely common, and can be found in soil, in water and as a harmless resident of the digestive systems of animals worldwide. They're most common in soil that is rich in organic matter, and "feed" by absorbing sufficiently small organic molecules across their cell membrane. When food is abundant Hay Bacilli are stationary, but when suitably-sized organic molecules become scarcer they develop numerous flagella (tail-like extensions of their cell walls) in order to swim or crawl to new areas. When faced with a total lack of resources or harsh environmental conditions members of this species undergo a process called sporulation in which they essentially create a copy of their genetic material, encase it in a tough protective membrane and release it into their environment where it lies dormant as an extremely durable structure called an endospore, developing into a new but genetically identical bacterium when conditions improve.

slime molds tend to mature quite rapidly from goopy plasmodial slime to a more solid (yet still very delicate) fruit body, which will then dehisce and sporulate. this is the development of a Stemonitis sp. after a few hours by Sarah Lloyd

hey i know u said u found god in this prairie but i actually put her there as a restoration effort so im really sorry but if u could bring her back so she can sporulate and inoculate the soil it would really help the ecosystem :)

The Nest of Snakes

So:

What if I told you

That the blind

Might sense more

Than the sharpest

Eyes of Eagles?

The deaf more

Than the keenest

Ear - Infinite Angels

Toppling

From their pins - dropping like

A cacophony of Wings and Eyes?

Serpent-wreathed bulls more

Animate than animal:

Would you believe?

Me: told as I am (more)

As we are,

Never-the-Less

Make lies into truth

And Truth into Lies.

Hence, twixt, thus

Play host:

Ghost-with-the most -

Lord of Strangers

For flesh is

Wyrm-ridden and

Seething

I: a strait-jacketing inside,

A ward of madness;

Listen to howling griefsong

Psyche cries there for Eros -

Blót, blood poured out,

Swelling, blossoming - a blooming rose

Iron-thorn sacrifice

Bark makes a door

Of skin.

Host-lord

Ever between (inter) betwixt

Faces

Masked, hatted, hooded

So the sibilant-prophet

Reveals via concealment:

Mouth of Ash

Roarer

Hanged-jaw juddering

In freezing, starry silence

Deepest night and richest

Twilight

Shapeshifting thief of always -

Matter's of Matrix - ever-fugitive

And fork-tongued:

Sing of rivers risng

Lame

From their beds

Asleep no more;

They never-were

The doubled, tripled ones

Pouring forth

From the Mount of Venus

Mother i' the Mountain

Pads with feline grace

Bloody muzzle, gleaming teeth

Gold-gleam brewing

Honey of ancestral bees

The grave drones

Of kosmic sporulation

I cannot tell you of

One single thing

But the more

Such as I ken

So must I lie

Would you know yet more?
