@PaulStamets @_FungusAmongUs All mushrooms now glow. All mushrooms now bruise blue.

#bacteria modified to react to light, creating pictures! Future research can lead to controlling the bacteria to do other tasks #MESpandemic https://t.co/UaT0jmocXr

@alpinety @_FungusAmongUs Actually I asked to do something like this but was told it wouldn't demonstrate enough knowledge of the course material.

@esargent184 @subsurface_life Great example of #epibiont life too!

[Ben Chenoweth @ecologistben]

We were just talking about #epibionts in class today and then this great example came into my feed #MESpandemic #horseshoecrab https://t.co/hxMN9RvufI

@alpinety Yeah, #cholera has been around forever and reemerges often. #MESpandemic

[Ben Chenoweth @ecologistben]

@SairahKimmel Very interesting, I know their are a few research labs dedicated to studying just these soils and particulates.

Hey #MESpandemic - Invert infected with a symbiont that confers #bioluminescent traits https://t.co/DyMa9WCDb7

[Ben Chenoweth @ecologistben]

wow; w/ 520 soil tests; 5 new #mycoparasites found. As @TCastanea said, look to fungi for new species https://t.co/X9neDqz147 #MESpandemic

[Ben Chenoweth @ecologistben]

@pathogengeek There is some research going on to use cacti just like this too. NSF link: https://t.co/mGWfp0dmMK #MESpandemic #cacti
