Fusarium proliferatum is a fungal plant pathogen infecting crops and also can affect humans as well.[3]

It has a worldwide distribution and has been associated with a variety of diseases in important economical crop plants, such as corn and bananas.[4][5]

It can cause a disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients,[6][7][8] The fungus can also cause an abscesses within the body where the trauma or damage is caused by a plant, such as Onychomycosis (nail infections).[9][10] The fungus was discovered in 2003 as an agent that can cause Fusarium keratitis when found within a contact lens preservation solution.[11]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
