The fungi are perhaps the most alien kingdom to those of us in kingdom Animalia. With their many strange and incredible lifestyles, differing life cycles, and vastly different appearances, this kingdom features an incredible variety of species. Overall the Fungi cards are themed with very large but nebulous concepts, one should look to complex and interconnected overall changes, needs, and states when Fungi cards are in the reading. These are concepts beyond those that are immediate to life and are more universal in nature.

Ascomycota – The Yeast card represents transmogrification, a transformation of one thing into another. While literal change can be seen with metamorphosis, when in a card reading one should look to metaphorical transformation, mental, physical, or emotional, either in the past which may be affecting the present, or to be seen in and embraced in the future. One should not fear change, as fungi as a whole remind us it is inevitable. While Ascomycota encompass a vast variety of fungi, perhaps some of the most notable in the phyla are the yeasts which allow beer and bread to ferment. All fungi are transformative, but these are some of the most notable in our human, everyday lives.

Basidiomycota – The Mushroom card is renewal in its most fundamental state. Beyond death there is decay, from decay there is life. Despite difficulty, tragedy, or death there is promise of renewed life and vitality. Despite vitality, there is always the promise of death. In life there is death. In death there is life. In reading this must be considered with the subject and surrounding circumstance, but a reminder of death is always prudent, and a reminder that it brings life is all the more so. Within this Phylum are some of the most well known mushroom species, and they are the most visible signs of life renewed from death to the human eye. Their interlinked nature to all things that live is a constant reminder that decay is an extant form of life.

Blastocladiomycota – The Blastoclad card represents minutia. The smallest things which are often below notice and require a narrowed and careful view to ascertain. Is there something large ahead which seems insurmountable? Perhaps it is time to look smaller. It could also be that assessment of the smaller things could prove better to create a better working whole. Only recently defined within their own phylum, blastoladiomycota are defined by the ultrastructure of their zoospores, defining their reproduction on a cellular as physically unique among all phyla.

Chytridiomycota – The Chytrid card represents cooking. More than just transforming from one state to another, cooking requires the input of various ingredients and the application of outside sources of energy to see something to a desirable conclusion. If something is not moving forward, it may be time to reconsider what elements are needed for it to improve. Think of where the recipe has deviated or is lacking, and look to apply outside stimulus to the subject of the reading. The name for this phylum derives from the Greek 'little cooking pot' referring to the structure of unreleased zoospores.

Glomeromycota – The Mycorrhizal Fungi card represents growth. To grow is to move beyond what is past and to continue to change and adapt. Growth can be large or small, but it is ever present. Consider in the reading that it may be time to focus on growth. Critical to life on earth, mycorrhizal fungi support the growth of many keystone plant species, which would be unable to thrive without them. Without the plants, ecosystems would collapse. Their existence is absolutely critical to the growth of nearly all plant life on earth.

Microsporidia – The Microsporadia card represents control. In a reading one should consider where control of a situation or thing has been lost, and where it might be regained, refined, or better understood. The overt control of a situation may not be possible, but one can look to elements they can control and act within their own best interest. Control, when left unchecked, can be dangerous and detrimental to others, so it is best to consider the broad scope. Microsporidia are unicellular fungi and the phylum contains a number of parasites capable of controlling various aspects of their host's morphology and biology.

Neocallimastigomycota – The Neocallimastigomycete card represents rumination, or gentle, introspective thought and digestion of complex and hard matters. When coming upon a difficult issue or harsh reality it can be important to take the time to reflect on this and digest it piece by piece. As Neocallimastigomycetes exist in the offal of herbivorous animals and aid in digestion of tough plant matter, they too exist here to reflect upon the need to take the time to digest harsh matters, and allow whatever events that surround us to be taken apart piece by piece until it can be managed by the whole.

Zygomycota – The Zygomycete card represents a pair, or a duality. There is a natural fascination in the human mind for twins, it is unusual for our species, and therefore comes across as something special. Things that are paired are of a natural interest, and one should remark their uniqueness. When one of a pair is missing, it is natural to hurt for its loss, and to look for its replacement. Consider what is missing, and what is lost, and look to find a match to complete it. The name of this phylum refers to the specific visual appearance of the zygosporangia (spores) formed during sexual reproduction, which appear as two fused but distinct cells.

You know it’s biology class when you have to spell part of the word, then go back, look, and spell a little more, then go back, look again and the cycle repeats.

How the hecc am I supposed to remember how to spell chytridiomycota??? It’s chy then tri then dio then my then cota

Idk what this post was.

IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 361: Dynamics of Bacterial and Fungal Communities during the Outbreak and Decline of an Algal Bloom in a Drinking Water Reservoir

The microbial communities associated with algal blooms play a pivotal role in organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in freshwater ecosystems. However, there have been few studies focused on unveiling the dynamics of bacterial and fungal communities during the outbreak and decline of algal blooms in drinking water reservoirs. To address this issue, the compositions of bacterial and fungal communities were assessed in the Zhoucun drinking water reservoir using 16S #rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene Illumina MiSeq sequencing techniques. The results showed the algal bloom was dominated by Synechococcus, Microcystis, and Prochlorothrix. The bloom was characterized by a steady decrease of total phosphorus (TP) from the outbreak to the decline period (p < 0.05) while Fe concentration increased sharply during the decline period (p < 0.05). The highest algal biomass and cell concentrations observed during the bloom were 51.7 mg/L and 1.9×108 cell/L, respectively. The cell concentration was positively correlated with CODMn (r = 0.89, p = 0.02). Illumina Miseq sequencing showed that algal bloom altered the water bacterial and fungal community structure. During the bloom, the dominant bacterial genus were Acinetobacter sp., Limnobacter sp., Synechococcus sp., and Roseomonas sp. The relative size of the fungal community also changed with algal bloom and its composition mainly contained Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and Chytridiomycota. Heat map profiling indicated that algal bloom had a more consistent effect upon fungal communities at genus level. Redundancy analysis (RDA) also demonstrated that the structure of water bacterial communities was significantly correlated to conductivity and ammonia nitrogen. Meanwhile, water temperature, Fe and ammonia nitrogen drive the dynamics of water fungal communities. The results from this work suggested that water bacterial and fungal communities changed significantly during the outbreak and decline of algal bloom in Zhoucun drinking water reservoir. Our study highlights the potential role of microbial diversity as a driving force for the algal bloom and biogeochemical cycling of reservoir ecology. http://bit.ly/2BCoyJJ #MDPI

GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC & ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: LAKE UNDER LOCKDOWN - LAKE ONTARIO AN AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM UNDER LOCKDOWN

For almost 60 years, Lake Ontario has been under lockdown, surrounded, controlled and managed more than any other large lake in human history. But what happens when the ebb and flow of such a vast aquatic ecosystem is replaced by the cool efficiency of a swimming pool? A fascinating documentary that shines a light on global scientific and environmental issues.
