Strange science fact of the day:
There is a kind of fungi that attacks male crabs, effectively feminizes them by causing them to lose their fighting claws and create a womb-like structure that the fungi can then use to create more of itself.
There's probably a story for Big closet in there somewhere ...

Now we know that fungi can 'mold' an animal. ^_^
Now you have done it
There are now thousand of fingers entering search perimeters to find out just what this fungus is and how to reconnoiter it..
I just love all of the odd bits and bobs people find to share here, it makes my life more interesting.
Yes I think there is a story here it just needs a warm protected space to grow and bare fruit.

sacrallina carcini - apparently a form of barnacle, doesn't sound too pleasant if it does the same to a human! and you have the invading barnacle attached to whatever site takes its fancy and then it grows a network of tendrils to sap nutrients out of you!
Does not sound very useful.
Intwestin tho!

sacculina carcini
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
It's the inspiration for Paras in the Poke'mon games.
Just in case there are any geeks that are interested :P
