Any strawberry doctors out there? My fruit are developing lesions before ripening so I'm wondering whether I might have Alternaria, Botrytis, and/or Colletotrichum. Ants are quick to the scene but I don't think they are causing the problem. Raised bed in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. It's also been hot and muggy but in past years that hasn't prevented a good crop. #strawberries #fragaria #garden #gardening #fruit #disease #pathology #fungi #fungus

Researchers Warn Some Infectious #Fungus Could Spread as Earth's Temperatures Rise
Aspergillus flavus, species that prefers hotter, tropical climates, could increase its spread by 16% if humans continue burning large amounts of #fossilfuels, [Mainly in parts of Europe and the northernmost edges of Scandinavia, Russia, China, and Canada, and the western edge of Alaska.] This species can cause severe infections in humans and is resistant to many antifungal medications.
