This Blue Fungus Hides a Medical Secret (Cobalt Crust Fungus)

A detailed microscopic exploration of the blue fungus, Terana caerulea, also known as Cobalt Crust Fungus. This video documents the fungus found on a dead branch and examines its structure using a stereoscope and a compound microscope. Viewers will see close-up footage of the velvety texture, the fungal hyphae, and the phenomenon of guttation. The video also captures other microscopic life found on the sample, including a mite and a rotifer. The description includes a discussion of the scientific background of Terana caerulea, focusing on the antibiotic compound it produces, cortalcerone, and its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria like Streptococcus pyogenes.
