One of my moots is currently watching ladybird and I'm so excited to know what she thought
i mean we have 3 more episodes for the Kang Yohan and Kim Ga On ship to properly sail soooo i mean
In Sing 3 I want Rosita to become friends with a single dad who is a rabbit and has 21 kids. I want them to bond over being hard working parents!!!!!
No no you are so right for this like I’m all for poly ships but also Garnet is perfectly happy as she is so she doesn’t really need an external relationship y’know? You’re so galaxy brained for this
Steven Universe Hot take/pondering Can someone "made of love" be aromantic? Because I am so completely fucken weirded out by any sort of shipping done with garnet. like... she is a healthy romantic relationship, why would she want to be in one???
Chrondrostereum purpureum
This post will discuss Chrondrostereum purpureum, a fungal plant pathogen that causes silver leaf disease in trees.
I made this post in response to this poll.
Fruit body and spores
Subsequent to starting as a crust on the wood, the fruiting body develops undulating intergrowing brackets up to about 3 centimeters wide, which have a tough rubbery texture.¹ The sterile upper surface is hirsute to tomentose and is somewhat grayish or brownish in colour. The fertile lower surface is pinkish to dark purple at first, becoming dark brownish-violet with age. Especially at the early stages of growing, it often secretes dark purple coloured liquid through a process known as guttation.² After a week or two the fruiting structure dries out, becomes brittle, and turns a drab brown or beige.¹
The spores are cylindric, approximately 5–8 μm x 3–4 μm in size, hyaline and inamyloid. The hyphal structure is monomitic with clamp connections.¹
Ecology and silver leaf disease
Chrondrostereum purpureum can be found on living and dead hardwoods, mostly on broad-leafed species, but it can also be a serious parasite of conifers.² It is a well-known pathogen of members of the Rosaceae family, especially various Prunus species², but also apple, pear, willow, maple, etc.¹ As a pathogen C. purpureum causes a progressive and frequently fatal disease, called 'silver leaf disease'², which causes the leaves of the tree to silver and is followed by the death of the branches.¹
Distribution
Geographically the fungus is just about as widespread as its host. It can be found in woods, orchards and tree plantations in temperate climates.¹
As a human pathogen
There has been a single case report which confirmed a human infection with Chondrostereum purpureum in a non immunocompromised man. The man had been working with infected plant material which caused him to get infected, however, it was resolved by treating him with antifungal medication.¹
