A fossilized plant in a museum collection contained the oldest known disease-causing fungus, with microscopic images showing it bursting through the plants wall.

Researchers discover a 407-million-year-old fossilized fungus, named Potteromyces asteroxylicola, in the Rhynie Chert, shedding light on early disease history and fungi's role in shaping Earth.

The ecological significance of fungi cannot be underestimated. Apart from sequestering substantial carbon in soils, they serve as nutritional havens for plant

Ken Ham says something stupid and dishonest again. https://twitter.com/aigkenham/status/662450677625569280The fish that forgot to evolve?
