The apparently yucky dermatophyte fungi that cause athlete’s foot\, ringworm\, and much of what we call ‘jock itch’ grow out as stunningly attractive red\, yellow and cream-coloured colonies with dramatic spores\, intriguing spiral barbs and eccentric sex lives. Working with them is so addictive that it’s all managers can do to get techs to go back to the bacteriology bench. These (the fungi\, not the workers) are mysterious organisms. Most animal species\, or even whole family-level groups like ‘the cat family’ (Felidae)\, have at most one dermatophyte species that regularly colonizes them. Humans\, meanwhile\, have at least nine ringworm fungi specifically adapted to grow on us! What made our species the Galapagos Islands of the ringworms? Investigation showed that our habit of domesticating different animals – either deliberately\, like the horse\, or accidentally\, like the rat – caused us to collect new ringworms that adapted to us by genetically host-jumping. In addition to scratching our heads\, they do give us a lot to think about. Such as “why are they so brightly coloured in culture when they are never colourful in their normal growth on skin?” \nPlease purchase tickets by March 19\, 2019.

At first\, he thought the dark fungus involved might be an unknown organism\, but then he discovered it had been known from Cognac\, France\, in the 1880s\, and then essentially forgotten. Later investigations\,  sometimes propelled by semi-secretive mass homeowner lawsuits in the USA and the UK\, showed that the ‘whiskey fungus’ was to be found worldwide – but only where some artificial process was releasing tons of ethanol into the air. It had\, and has\, no known natural habitat – which is impossible\, but so it stands at the moment. A new genus\, Baudoinia\, was described\, named after the early researcher who described it in Cognac. Dr. Summerbell was sent to Cognac to collect a new specimen to represent the ‘type’ of the name. Some snaffling of blackened\, dead bush twigs around a cognac warehouse hit paydirt. More recent investigations have found him sampling the stone on the Kentucky state capitol and scraping black fungus off over 100 baking-hot corrugated tin roofs near the Captain Morgan rum warehouse in St. Croix\, U.S. Virgin Islands\, taking a two-day break for Hurricane Irma to pass through. Somehow alcohol never fails to be linked to drama\, even when fungi are involved. \nPlease purchase tickets by March 19\, 2019
