Mycology interest
Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I haven't been on my account in a while. Biophysics is my major at Duke, but my interest in mycology comes from a senior internship, a year of lab work, a few projects, and a part time job in a mycology lab and "mycology herbarium" (fungarium?) at the University of Arizona. Thanks for saying hi! I love to meet people with similar interests. Yes, some fungi do produce compounds to ward of other potential fungal parasites and competitors. I can't think of any fungi off the top of my head. What is your myco-like project about? I highly suggest you take a look at the work of the principal investigator and U of A professor I worked under, Dr. Betsy Arnold, who studies fungal endophytes: fungi which live commensally or mutualistically inside of plants. There is extremely likely these fungi engage in all sorts of chemical warfare in order to stake their place within the plants, probably like how bacteria compete to colonize our gut and skin. Dr. Arnold is currently studying this phenomenon by setting up little "battlefield" agar plates where small starter colonies of two different species are placed across from each other and allowed to grow. If one's growth toward the other is inhibited consistently, there is probably some chemical retardation. I've seen a few plates where this is obviously happening. I know she is still working on this project. She can definitely point you in the direction of some excellent mycological topics.
