Lens or camera fungus is the popular name for the infestation of optical devices such as lenses, low pass filter (OLPF) or the camera sensor, by fungal threads . By germination of fungal spores and further spore formation, the infestation can spread beyond the initial fungal network.
[2] In the same patient, the fungus isolated from "a retained contact lens was identified as Scedosporium prolificans." [ 2 ] The issues of fungal identification observed as mentioned in this study do not pertain only to fungal contamination of contact lenses but also to the overall difficulties of fungal identification in vitro .
Aspergillus penicillioides is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus, and is among the most xerophilic fungi. [1]Aspergillus penicillioides is typically found in indoor air, house dust, and on substrates with low water activity, such as dried food, papers affected by foxing, and inorganic objects such as binocular lenses.

Long-term contact lens use can lead to alterations in corneal thickness, stromal thickness, curvature, corneal sensitivity, cell density, and epithelial oxygen uptake. . Other structural changes may include the formation of epithelial vacuoles and microcysts (containing cellular debris), corneal neovascularization, as well as the emergence of polymegethism in the corneal endoth

Although many people have a fear of mushroom poisoning by "toadstools", only a small number of the many macroscopic fruiting bodies commonly known as mushrooms and toadstools have proven fatal to humans.
In a new study published on August 29, 2024, in Nature Microbiology, researchers go into detail about how this novel fungus can turn food waste into delectable desserts and main courses.
