Fungus metabolites may help ghost shrimp survive Connecticut College researchers have found that chemical byproducts produced by the amphibian-killing fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis—commonly known as Bd—may actually help ghost shrimp…

Cool‐season environmental water delivery increases extinction risk for chytrid‐infected amphibians We developed a stochastic population model to test the impact of the timing of environmental water delivery on the extinction risk of L. raniformis impacted by amphibian chytrid fungus. Our simulatio...

Today is #WorldFrogDay AND #WorldSparrowDay!?!
What a #chytrid crossover!!!
#Batrachochytrium = amphibian pathogen🐸

Coincidence?!?!

Happy #WorldFrogDay!
May all of your #chytrid infections be sublethal.

More than mushrooms—what do the mycologists at Purdue study? Mushrooms, whether eaten, used medicinally or in art, are deeply intertwined with global cultures. But they actually constitute a small piece of the fungal world. Mushrooms are the fruiting body of fu...

Slimelord - "Chytridiomycosis Relinquished" - Everything Is Noise UK death/doomers Slimelord rise from the swamps with debut album Chytridiomycosis Relinquished. You'll need Wellies for this one.

"Apparently chytridiomycosis is a term for a fungal disease that’s been causing great damage to amphibian populations worldwide (in case you didn’t think death metal could teach you anything)." - Everything Is Noise
