Pithecellobium 🔍
Pithecellobium is a type of fungus that grows on dead plant material, often in soil or decaying matter. It primarily affects aquatic plants like pumpkins and carrots, causing them to grow rapidly and produce excessive amounts of spores. Pithic fungi are known for their ability to colonize and infect living organisms, such as humans, leading to the development of diseases like rotaviruses and human papillomavirus (HPV).
