Anyway, fungi are attacked and consumed by anaerobic bacteria when oxygen content drops below 6 ppm, or there abouts.  We have some great pictures of fungal hyphae happily growing until the oxygen content drops too low, and then, the ravening hordes of anaerobic bacteria attack and take the fungal strands out!  You don't even know that those are fungal hyphae, they are so buried in bacteria.  Only in oxygen below 6 ppm


Thanks Elaine, this is interesting given the comment from SFI on my latest tea report.
"Notes - lots of prots(FAC's) total fungi counts are from one lg piece, grown in tea, covered with bacteria."
Underlining added for emphasis.

>From Elaine's comment above it sounds like the oxygen went low and the bacteria ate the fungi.
