Don't worry the fungus won't harm the bulb just add a fungicide in the water and the water your amaryllis it will kill the fungus.Why is there fungus on my amaryllis bulb?
Depends on which type of fungus, some fungus is fine and won't harm the bulb. Are you keeping the dirt too wet, it might be rotting if so.

How can you treat and prevent mushrooms and fungus from growing in your yard?
I had mushrooms in about a 10 square-foot area in my yard. After mowing the lawn, there was still a lot left. I took my rake and just hacked at the remaining fungi. Then I swept it all up. Will it grow back? How can I prevent it from growing back? If it comes back, how can I kill it so it won't come back?How can you treat and prevent mushrooms and fungus from growing in your yard?
mushrooms usually indicate decomposing organic matter that is plentiful and they can take off during wet periods. there are not many satisfactory controls with fungicides. I break them up and wait for the ';season'; to pass, and keep the area clear of debris.How can you treat and prevent mushrooms and fungus from growing in your yard?

How do you know if your camera has fungus in it?
Also, how do you detect fungus formation at an early stage? I still don't have a budget to buy a drybox..Thank you!How do you know if your camera has fungus in it?
You can see it as fine radiating fibres (like a cobweb). It usually starts from the margin of a lens but can occur in the center too. Try to see the surface of the lens elements by reflecting the light from a table lamp and you'll notice the fungus if it's there.
For a dry box (desiccator)- I have never bought one and never intend to buy one. I get very cheap transparent plastic boxes which are really air-tight. I keep my equipment in these boxes and on one side I keep a open coffee mug filled with self-indicating silica get crystals (blue in colour when dry and white to transparent when hydrated), which is easily available in any science store. Once these crystals get hydrated, I just heat them up and they are then again ready to be used.

How to prevent fungus in my turtle tank?
my turtle keeps catching this fungus, how do i kill it and keep it away once and for all!How to prevent fungus in my turtle tank?
if you had a good book on how to care for your turtles, you could find out in detail how to get rid of it and (more importantly) why you have it to begin with.
it will always come back if you do not keep your turtles correctly.
-you need a good efficient filter. an over sized canister filter is best for turtles due to heavy waste load
-change 40% water every week ***dirty water is the main cause of your problem***
-feed good quality food. i prefer mazuri brand. it is arguably the most nutritionally complete.
-temperature;
air temperature = mid 70's - 80's
basking temperature = high 80's to low 90's
water temperature = 72 to 76 degrees for sub-adults and adults, 78 to 80 degrees for hatchlings and smaller juveniles.
-full spectrum lighting for proper metabolism of vitamins
-basking site where the turtle can COMPLETELY dry off. ***this is another key part to your problem***
buy a book, you will have a much better understanding of why you need to do what it says, and not what is easy for you.

clean the tank out real good with just water.
Fill it up with water...low boil the gravel for a couple hrs...
then Set up your tank
****BUT make sure the water never goes below 76degrees. No more than 79/80.
This is thee most importan and clean filtered water. If it means getting 2 filters. Do it, they aren't that expensive. When my gals were in a tank I had 2 filters. In all my fish rtanks I still have two filters. just keeps the water cleaner.

Healthy turtles need protein from the fish meat and calcium from the fishes bones. Drop 20 or so feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows in the tank and watch them disappear in a few days! When I got these two 36 yrs ago all we had in back then were goldfish to feed , so after 36 yrs and still going strong. They can eat goldfish!
This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also! TOSS in a bird cuttle bone in the water for calcium that will promote better shell growth, it will dissolve real slow and if they eat it that鈥檚 fine!!
They can have garden worms, meal worms, snails, crickets, flies, crayfish small frogs, slugs, tadpoles dragon flies and anything that moves, but only as a treat.
They need leafy greens Romaine, Butter lettuce. (Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any other leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.
They love grapes and strawberries and squash..
Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA/UVB for up to 8 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow. So that means getting a turtle dock also.
Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.
These turtles in captivity do not hibernate their eating may slow down some but they will not hibernate.
*** If you have any other fish or snails in your tank..they will be eaten. The only thing you keep with these are the ones they will eat..

There is a fungus ravaging horses in So Cal. Has anyone figured out how to get rid of it?
Ours have it on their bellies and everytime we think we've conquered it, it reappears. Help!There is a fungus ravaging horses in So Cal. Has anyone figured out how to get rid of it?
I like to use an iodine mixture...
I use 4% straight on any fungus...any higher percentage...I dilute with water. Say 7%, I would dilute 2 parts iodine with 1 part water. And I spray every 3 days or so...until gone. I learned this from a vet...and it worked for me.
Don't share grooming tools, disinfect girths and saddle pads, disinfect cinches and anything that 'touches' the horse.
Takes effort...but worth it.
EDIT...JJ...I've actually heard of that. Never tried it though.There is a fungus ravaging horses in So Cal. Has anyone figured out how to get rid of it?
i agree with the answerer above:fungus is very stubborn to treat!Talk to the vet!
Also,some fungus gets immune or tolerant to some medication, like some bacteria do.
Best, to get a second opinion, if you feel, that the local vet is not helping much!
I had fungus on my feet, and it took quite a while to get rid of!
Also:you must treat the area, where you keep the horses, its possible, that you treat them successfully, BUT:the poor horses are getting re-infected from somewhere?paddocks, pasture?Get a second opinion!
I havn't heard of that and I live in SoCal. It could be fly allergies, so I suggest getting a fly sheet with a neck cover and belly wrap and spray them alot with flyspray. Eqyss makes a product called MicroTek that works like a miracle on most any fungus. If the sores are open, try using Novlesan ointment after you wash their bellies with MicroTek.
Also, clean your saddle pads and girths/cinches every day with LeatherTherapy wash, it inhibits mold and helps stop fungus, and I would als use the conditioner because it helps keep it from coming back again.
--Good Luck!!
Try spot treating with kerosene ... smells awful, but it'll kill the fungus. Something else that kills fungus ... take some copper crystals and dissolve them in water (like for pond treating), and wash them with that. The water'll be bluish looking.
Get your horses some licks that are high in copper - that will help as well.
Most all illnesses are derived from an imbalance in the body, nutritional or otherwise. Get your horses some seaweed meal (kelp is one name), and sprinkle 3 tbsp of that on thier feed. It will supply all the trace minerals AND will help keep them from overheating in the summer (not sure how it does that, but it does)
15 years of keeping horses that have to have that ';track shine'; and working with them on a daily basis for 15 years, having learned much from two very old horseman, and having seen it my self at tracks everywhere. I would say, Try pinesol, yes PINESOL. It works VERY well, and is SAFE, and is CHEAP, and is used on race horses EVERYWHERE. That fungus will be gone quick. Use a pail of warm water with premixed pinesol, apply with a sponge, wait 10 minutes or so, and rinse. Some may say.....';omg';.......or......';no way';......but yes way!. try it. I use it often, removes rainrott, rainscald, and fungus, and whats neat is, usually the coat comes back in color, rather then white. Once you have tried it, come back and post a comment, just to show the ';non-believers'; that will no doubt surface.
Years ago, I had an Arabian mare that had what was called ';girth itch';, a fungus along her cheek bones and on her belly. Then, we treated it with a mixture of 1/3 Clorox bleach to 2/3 water in a spray bottle three times a day. Some people have successfully used athletes foot medicine. Vets can also give you prescription meds. Funguses are stubborn but if you are persistent, you can clear it up. Just don't give up.
I'm sure that... oh what's it called... oh yeah vet, might need to make a visit. If it's a reoccuring sickness you really should have a vet take a look. If they are in wet conditions that is probably why it is coming back. Past that I dont' know since I'm not looking at your horse and testing it like a vet could.
