Re: Chlorociboria aeruginascens

I don't have any problems with pronunciation, only with microbiology. The reference to xylindeine elsewhere seems to suggest a link to zinc. If this fungus is taking up metals like zinc the question still remains, why? Is this a defensive procedure? What advantages accrue to it from doing so?
