RE: Harmful Fungus in Sphagnum Moss?

From: "Cooper, Susan L." SLCooper at scj.com> on 2001.06.21 at 19:36:47(6799) I think you are talking about blastomycosis, my brother-in-law's father got it and was very ill. I don't have any links for it, but you can probably find info on the internet via a search engine.

In my few years of growing aroids I have periodically heard stories about a harmful (to humans) fungus that grows and reproduces itself in ground or otherwise virgin sphagnum. Has anyone else heard these stories or seen written information on the subject? Don Burns Plantation FL Zone 10b
