(by the way, arthrobotrys produces cellulose fibers, plant fibers - hence the thought that we are turning into plants) I'll try to find the link to that one.

More research is needed in this area. It should look like Katinka's photo of "black fungus on hair" - and I can't find a photo that looks like that animal. Will keep searching.

I find the following quote very significant because of the nature of the FIBERS PRODUCED BY THIS FUNGUS - apparently this cellulose and lignin production is unique and is the reason some say we are being turned into plants!

Interestingly, and equally significant, in our earlier studies we tested eighteen species of Arthrobotrys and found all of them produced cellulases and some were potent producers of this enzyme (click here). Cellulose and lignin are the stuff of plants, never animals, and at first thought production of cellulases and lignases seems odd for animal predators such as Arthrobotrys and Nematoctorus.

This fungus "knows" what is happening throughout its micelium network , i.e. our bodies - another reason this is so hard to fight.

More later....
