And that is a common way for blue stain fungus to spread. If those beetles moved to another tree, then they can transport that blue stain fungus to another tree. It doesn't only affect oaks.

In a remarkable find, 160-million-year-old blue-stain fungi fossils have been unearthed in China's Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation. This discovery, detailed in ScienceDaily, rewrites the timeline of ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, a Chinese team of scientists highlights the discovery of well-preserved blue-stain fungal hyphae within a Jurassic fossil wood from northeastern ...

The blue stain fungus travels from tree to tree on a special structure in the beetle’s mouthparts. This is its means to travel to new trees.

Burkum's interest in fungus began as a graduate student at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C., studying mushrooms that fruit underground in the high forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Grosmannia clavigera, also known as blue stain fungus for the stain it leaves in the wood of infected trees, is carried to the host trees by pine beetles.It weakens the tree's natural defence ...

The discovery in the news is a 160-million-years-old fossil blue-stain fungus colonising an insect-infested conifer wood Xenoxylon phyllocladoides from the Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation in western ...

But the one that I was most glad to see was gyroporus (blue-staining bolete). When seen from above, it is not so impressive. The mushroom is only 4 or 5 inches tall and light brown-tan in color.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have decoded the genome of the fungus that helps mountain pine beetles infect and kill lodgepole pines. Grosmannia clavigera, also known as blue stain ...
