Wikispecies has information related to: Neocallimastigomycota Neocallimastigomycota is a phylum of anaerobic fungi , found in the digestive tracts of herbivores. It encompasses only one family Contents Discovery Reproduction and growth Metabolism Polysaccharide-degrading activity ... edit Discovery The fungi in Neocallimastigomycota were first described by Orpin in 1975, based on motile cells present in the rumen of the sheep . Although the cells were first believed to be flagellates , it has since been shown that they are fungi related to the core chytrids. Prior to this, the microbial population of the rumen was believed to consist only of bacteria and protozoa . Since their discovery they have been isolated from the digestive tracts of over 50 herbivores , including ruminant and non-ruminant mammals and herbivorous reptiles edit Reproduction and growth These fungi reproduce in the stomach of ruminants through the use of zoospores that bears a kinetosome but lacks the nonflagellated centriole known in most chytrids

103. Beauveria Bassiana Photographs of a cicada and a beetle killed by this fungus. http://www.kaimaibush.co.nz/Fungi/Beauveria_bassiana.html

Beauveria bassiana - This fungus is parasitic on insects in the bush. It seems to kill them from the inside, feeding on the internal organs, and often the dead insect seems to have just stopped in the middle of what ever it was doing. The fungus is also known as "Sugar Icing Fungus" Cicada - dead but still clinging to a branch - killed by Beauveria bassiana. (No, this photo is not upside down!)

Home Current projects External Projects Enclosed environment ... Contact Established in 1987 2509 Springbrook Road, Springbrook, Queensland, Australia. The search to find and identify new bioluminescent organisms on the Springbrook Plateau continues. The Current Projects link above follows the studies of Glow Worms, Fireflies, Luminous Earthworms and Luminous Caterpillars. In addition, this is also the only facility in Australia specialising in the reproduction of all currently known bioluminescent rainforest fungi.
