Alternative Life History Having succumbed to an entomopathogenic fungal infection in the canopy, this large late instar (likely Lasiocampidae) moth caterpillar has dropped to the forest floor where it has been embalmed and sprouted fruiting structures. by Sinobug (itchydogimages) on Flickr.

Plutella xylostella is an insect pest with a wide range of hosts and the resulting losses are enormous, so control is very necessary. Biological control is one of the most widely used control strategies with active ingredients of microorganisms such as entomopathogenic fungi. This study aimed to analyze the ability of two entomopathogenic fungi, namely Beauveria bassiana and Metarrhizium spp. in South Kalimantan. The experimental design used was completely randomized design. Observation of symptoms of caterpillar larvae mortality P. xylostella placed on the trays showed the presence of hypa B. bassiana and Metarrhizium spp. growing on the caterpillar, fungi attacks are characterized by the insect body becoming stiff and hard, and the insect body will come out as a white hypa, this shows the conidia of the two entomopathogenic fungi. The results of this study indicated that the two entomopathogenic fungi have the potential to control P. xylostella in South Kalimantan with a concentration of 1.5g of entomopathogenic fungi un 100ml of distilled water.

have you talked about entomopathogenic fungi here? i think they're extremely cool! huge fan of Massospora cicadina, personally :]
i actually have not, yet !! let me know what you'd like me to say about it. i'll work on a little post with info about it & some examples, though :-) it's such an interesting concept.
massospora cicadina is a fascinating example of this & definitely something worth looking into. i could even.. do a FOTD.. wink wonk..
i love when people share their thoughts with me on any sort of fungi topics, so i'm glad you sent in an ask !!
In 2006, a patent was granted to a man named #PaulStamets one of the world’s leading #mycologist for #SMARTpesticides. These pesticides provide safe & nearly permanent solution for controlling over 200,000 species of insects – and all thanks to the ‘magic’ of mushrooms. Paul does this by taking #entomopathogenic #Fungi (fungi that destroys insects) and morphs it so it does not produce spores. In turn, this actually attracts the insects who then eat and turn into fungi from the inside out! Here is a link to the patent we are speaking of: 7,122,176 http://www.google.com/patents/US7122176 A list of all the patents Paul has applied for: http://patents.justia.com/inventor/paul-edward-stamets Plenty of information about Paul Stamets: http://www.fungi.com/about-paul-stamets.html Wikipedia page about Paul Stamets: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Stamets #AlwaysKeepItReal #GetGreen #FuckMonsanto
