Has anyone ever heard of Chytridiomycota?

I know it's the oldest living fungi. My brother removed a vey old stump a year ago. He swears he now has this is in his body. He can see them "move". He has been to the ER and they call it I forgot, its a pretty common skin condition. However he breaks out, scratches it and puts any kind of medicine he can to try and get rid of it.


He swears that once you see them and recognize them, they are terrible looking. He is convienced they are in his blood stream.


If he had Medical insurance, he would get better help. He has contacted the Health Department and they are at the site now investigating this stump. Because they have "seen something unusuall" what, I don't know, they are bringing in a Specialist in Biology. Has anyone ever heard of this fungi or had it? Please help, My brother asked me to research today to see how he can get rid of it and/or what will kill it. He is going through chemicals such as bleach to clean the shower and Peroxide on his shin. He said he is so tired Help

Has anyone ever heard of Chytridiomycota?
Chytridiomycota is a phylum of the Fungi kingdom. The name refers to the chytridium (from the Greek chytridion, meaning "little pot"): the structure containing unreleased spores. In older classifications, chytrids (except the recently established order Spizellomycetales) were placed in the Class Phycomycetes under the Subdivision Myxomycophyta of the Kingdom Fungi. Also, in an older and more restricted sense (not used here), the term "chytrids" referred just to those fungi in the order Chytridiales.





The chytrids are the most primitive of the fungi and are mostly saprobic (degrading chitin and keratin). Many chytrids are aquatic (mostly found in fresh water). There are approximately 1,000 chytrid species, in 127 genera, distributed among 5 orders.





Both zoospores and gametes of the chytrids are mobile by their flagella, one whiplash per individual. The thalli are coenocytic and usually form no true mycelium (having rhizoids instead). Some species are unicellular.





Some chytrid species are known to kill amphibians in large numbers. The actual process, however, is unknown. The infection is referred to as chytridiomycosis. Decline in frog populations led to the discovery of chytridomycosis in 1998 in Australia and Panama. Chytrids may also infect plant species; in particular, maize-attacking and alfalfa-attacking species have been described. Synchytrium endobioticum is an important potato pathogen.





Thats all there is.
