Where did the saying ';There's a fungus among us'; originate?
Just curious...Where did the saying ';There's a fungus among us'; originate?
LOL
Funny question.
I searched this quite extensively (sad, I know ... it's a boring day at work lol), and really couldn't find anything ... actually most of what I found was about mushrooms ... how to cook them, how to cultivate them, etc.
I think really this is just a silly thing that people say because it sounds funny and it rhymes, as far as I know, it has no deep meaning, or any meaning at all, really ... does it? :-)
Sorry, that's all I got.
EDIT: LOL ... ok, I found a little something on a link description when I did a google search that said ';'A fungus among us' ... fungi share a common ancestor with humans'; ... but when I went to the link, I couldn't find the original text that this was referring to ... not being an evolutionist myself, this seems completely ludicrous to me, but maybe this saying came from the fact that great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandpa was a mushroom? ;-)
EDIT #2: WOOHOOO ... ok, I found the actually text about our ';cousin mushrooms'; ... she link below
LOL ... thanks for this question, you'll never know the entertainment you've provided me ... I know I haven't helped you a bit, but you can't say I didn't give it my best shot :-P

HELP fungus on carpet and leather chairs.?
my white carpet is full of brown spots (fungus) and also on my leather chairs. Ive tried using carpet cleaners to get rid if the spots,but there still there and i used my sofa cleaning kit and it hasnt come off. any ideas? by the way i got my house fitted with carpet andnew sofas 5 months agoHELP fungus on carpet and leather chairs.?
What in the world is wrong with your house?! It would take a serious mold problem, higher humidity and very poor air circulation to cause this.
When they put down the new carpeting, did you see the sub-floor? Was it mold free? Do you have problems with mold in other areas of the house? Do you regularly change the furnace filters? AC filters?
I'd call in mold experts to first verify you have mold, not an insect problem. Then they can set out canisters to monitor the air to determine the mold spore count (maybe you can order these on line yourself and test the house).
If you have a humidity problem, I'd check into getting one or another dehumidifier. I'd also look into getting better air circulation around the house. If you have a new home, it may be too tight and you need to balance the air inside with something like a Skuttle air flow system.
There's also a chance the sofa and carpeting were contaminated before you purchased them....maybe they were where it flooded. If you have no other mold in the house, I'd be seriously looking that the items were damaged before they arrived. Problem there is, then your house is such the contaminated stuff could bloom.....unless experts can testify otherwise. That's why you need licensed mold inspector to help. and no I'm not one.

Toe fungus or just a bruise?
So I was wearing nail polish for a couple of days and when I took it off I noticed a pretty big spot under one of my toenails its like green/yellow/brown/purple.. I am really clumsy and have a bad habbit of hitting my toes against furniture or stairs so could it possibly be a bruise?
It's only one that one toenail and it doesn't hurt or anything.Toe fungus or just a bruise?
Judging from the colors, it just sounds like a bruise. The woman next door to me DOES have a toe fungus. Her toenails are completely black and yellow, not just in one spot.
But as always, if it doesn't get better, see your doc.

Velvet fungus and stingrays?
sad to say but two of my stingrays have caught the velvet fungus....one of them(a female motoro) looks really sick and was bleeding over her body, the second (male motoro) has white patches over its left and right side. i was told by a trusted aquarium shop owner to add some aquarium salt and aquaclear and hope for the best (tho he also told me theres only a slim chance of recovery)....now, six hours later, the light bleeding\red sore has stopped and is covered with some white slime...but she looks a little better.....what is velvet?...how did i get it(no new fish)? any solutions? any preventatives? i was told it might even come from the store bought frozen krill or silversides.Velvet fungus and stingrays?
Velvet and fungus are two separate conditions. Velvet is a parasite that appears like a white powder, but the color changes to rust/gold when under a bright light. ';Fungus'; really isn't a fungus although it was once considered that. This rarely attacks healthy fish - it's opportunistic if there's a wound already or if the fish's immune system is weakened by poor water quality, improper temperature, pH, etc. There's a third possibility, called Columnaris, and this is a bacterial condition, although it appears more fungus-like. Without seeing your rays, it's difficult knowing which one you're dealing with.
If what your rays have is ';fuzzy'; in appearance, it's more likely one of the last two. In the body ';fungus';, the individual filaments should be distinct. The outline of the infection is generally irregular. This would be treatable with salt, although you also want to keep your water quality as good as possible. Double check things like the ammonia and nitrite levels, temperature, and make sure your rays are on an appropriate substrate - if they're attempting to burrow into a large or rough substrate, they may be injuring their skin, and the fungus is attacking open open wounds.
If this is Columnaris, the filaments will be more matted so you won't be able to make out individual filaments. The infection outline will be roughly circular. This also seems more likely of the conditions as the central portion of the infection often becomes a open red sore, with the ';fuzzy'; filaments just around the perimeter. Since this is a bacterial condition, salt doesn't have that much effect. Generally, an anitbiotic (Nifurpirinol, brand names of Binox or Furanace) is used, but rays can be sensitive to medications.
I've never kept freshwater rays myself, so I don't know that the above medications are appropriate for them. I'm going to forward this question to another user (Magicman - you can also contact him directly through his profile [see the 10 ten answerers in the fish forum]) who owns freshwater rays himself, and see if he can give you additional advice. Just in case he doesn't answer, I would suggest that you also ask your question at this website: http://www.wetwebmedia.comVelvet fungus and stingrays?
I TOLD YOU BEFORE NOT TO GET THEM they are simply too hard to care for for someone of your status (i can tell because ive been tracking your posts I KNEW YOU WOULDENT LISTEN you cand just dive into stingrays i myself took in 20 hours of research just because

Could fungus grow inside of you?
wel i saw on tv that insects when they inhale spores of it the spores grows inside of their body...
then i remembered that i probably inhale some spores wen i open the poster color%26lt;it has fungus growing inside%26gt;..
so could it grow inside me........... hopely not....
thank you for answering.....Could fungus grow inside of you?
Your body has a strong defense system against anything entering your body that it does not recognize.
But in some cases - possible. Especially in your lungs, warm and weth, providing the kind of climate some fungi might well like. However, the kind of fungus you describe is a mold, and is not the kind of material that would transfer by air or that would grow within you.
So - yes, you can have fungus growing internally but no, it does not sound like you have an immediate concern.Could fungus grow inside of you?
you're welcome
Candida Albicans - usually associated with with white raised lumps in the throat affecting immune suppressed people. Tina Capitis (dandruff) and Tinia Pedis (altheletes foot) are also fungus as is ring worm, but they are external.
Maybe
OMG really? I never heard of that before!? Well not that it happens in the inside of you!
of course fungas can grow inside you. they call it fungal infections.
you just gave me something else to worry about
Yes, under your nasty toe-nails.
Yeast overgrowth is a fungus infection and can affect men, woman and children. It can live in different areas of your body and can manifest itself in many ways.
I live in Florida and mold is very common here. The apartment that I use to live in had been flooded previous to me moving in and there were some spots where mold grew but I kept hitting it with bleach. Not long after we moved there I got a horrible rash under my arms that itched to the point of near insanity. I went to the dr and she said it was a fungal infection. I pieced the whole thing together, got a really strong probiotic and anti fungal soap and have been rash free for about 1 1/2 years.
So the answer to your question is yes they can live inside of you, gross as that may sound.
hardly, because some species can, but they live in desolated places.... you are ok
erm i think it can grow under your finger nails and toenails
Bacteria and all that exist in the colon.layered hair
