[OGD] Microfungus

[Peter Hirsch]

I asked Wes Addison, our most successful local Phal grower, who has 
evidently been struggling with Micro fungus for years.  He says: 
there are more than fifty know 'species', so identification isn't much 
help.  The stuff gets into the cellular structure, even of the keikies 
of the affected plants.  Bob Gordon, in one of his books, describes a 
method for suppressing the fungus for perhaps six months, but the 
symptoms always come back.  Given that fact, and that the method 
involves sequential treatment with three highly toxic (and smelly) 
substances, he has found it better simply to discard affected plants.
