Listen "Phony Fungus Flowers"
Episode Synopsis
The fungus that causes mummy-berry disease in blueberries mimics flowers by producing nectar-like substances, releasing a flower-like perfume, and reflecting ultraviolet light to attract bees. These unsuspecting bees, thinking they're gathering nectar, inadvertently spread the fungus to healthy plants, enabling its reproduction.
