Interesting - the ttrees right outside the Jack Daniels fermenting building are also covered with a black fungus.

I get a black fungus inside my converted freezer/fermentation chamber. I wonder if its the same thing?

interesting, but the article makes it sound as if it was a big mystery. this certainly sounds like the same black mold that is found around whisky aging warehouses in Scotland. always has been & is well known.

apparently not that well known. It may have been known about but it sounds like it had never been correctly identified or named. a new genus is a pretty big deal!

That was pretty neat.  Who knew fungus could be such an interesting topic.

I realized what I had said after I posted it.  I figured I would leave it since it was kinda funny.

Neat article.  We should into the castle cellars in France where Cognac is aged :-)
