F. septica's plasmodium may be anywhere from white to yellow-gray, [6] typically 2.5–20 cm (1.0–7.9 in) in diameter, and 1–3 cm (0.4–1.2 in) thick. [7] The plasmodium eventually transforms into a sponge-like aethalium , analogous to the spore-bearing fruiting body of a mushroom ; which then degrades, darkening in color, and releases its ...
Bjerkandera adusta, commonly known as the smoky polypore or smoky bracket, [2] is a species of fungus in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It is a plant pathogen that causes white rot in live trees, but most commonly appears on dead wood.
Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants. Powdery mildew diseases are caused by many different species of ascomycete fungi in the order Erysiphales. Powdery mildew is one of the easier plant diseases to identify, as the signs of the causal pathogen are quite distinctive.
Tremella fuciformis is a species of fungus; it produces white, frond-like, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies). It is widespread, especially in the tropics, where it can be found on the dead branches of broadleaf trees. This fungus is commercially cultivated and is one of the most popular fungi in the cuisine and medicine of China. [1]
Mucilago crustacea is a species of slime mould, in the monotypic genus Mucilago, in the family Didymiaceae. [1] Due to its visual resemblance to canine vomit, [2] it is known colloquially as the "dog sick slime mould" [3] or "dog sick fungus", [4] albeit that slime moulds are not true fungi.

A widespread species with a cosmopolitan distribution , it is a medium-sized puffball with a round fruit body tapering to a wide stalk, and dimensions of 1.5 to 6 cm ...
The polysaccharides of Wolfiporia extensa and their derivatives have garnered significant interest due to their wide range of biological activities. These compounds exhibit potent anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral effects, which indicate their potential for further development as therapy or adjuvant therapy for cancer, immune modulation, and viral diseases.
Nigrospora sphaerica is an airborne filamentous fungus in the phylum Ascomycota. It is found in soil, air, and plants as a leaf pathogen. [2] It can occur as an endophyte where it produces antiviral and antifungal secondary metabolites. [3] Sporulation of N. sphaerica causes its initial white coloured colonies to rapidly turn black. [1]
