Sac fungi

Hypocryellis encompasses many entomopathogens, including genera cordyceps, bavaria, ophiocordyceps, and metarizum.

This order is within the phylum Ascomycota.

However, Ascomycota is not the only lineage that contains entomopathogens.

entomoptheralis is another order containing various entomopathogenic fungi these are zygomycetes that adhere their conidia or asexual spores to the insect and in the end grow their fruiting body between the host's body segments a notable entomopathogen from Hypocrealis is the Ascomycete Ophiocordyceps unilateralis.

As I mentioned at the beginning, Phytophthora are their own class of organisms.

And so traditional fungicides that are targeting these Alternaria and other Ascomycota fungi will not be effective at managing Phytophthora diseases, which are caused by Uluomycota organisms.

Okay.

Are there any other maybe misconceptions that you've heard of when going out and talking to folks?

I think something like oxytocin propylene will target the osteo binding protein.

And so that's essentially how it works by targeting a specific site within Phytophthora.

that is unique to Eulomycota and would be different to traditional Ascomycota fungi, like we were mentioning earlier, like Alternaria.

So that site will not be present in Alternaria, but it is present in Phytophthora.
