Quoting mike wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I alway assumed that the spores would germinate in the suitable microhabitats in the lens, such as the junction of element and body. The filaments (hyphae) would grow out onto the lens surface to a greater or lesser extent and then croak due to lack of sustenance. As has been said, it is exudates from the hyphae that cause the coatings to become etched permanently. I suppose the then croaked bits of hyphae would provide further suitable habitat for more spores to germinate.....
The above, of course being the Old English dialect of Twaddle....
I continue to me amazed at the variety of languages spoken by members of the PDML.
