Fusarium goeppertmayerae is a species associated with Zea and Sorghum in Australia, and now also found South Africa's Eastern Cape dairy pastures.
This species was named after Maria Goeppert Mayer, a physicist who shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics with J. Hans D. Jensen and Eugene Wigner.

@earthlingcards.bsky.social Hevansia mainiae is known only as an asexual morph from several Australian specimens that are morphologically indistinguishable from the description of the holotype of H.novoguineensis collected in Papua New Guinea. So suspect the Hevansia in Rowlands Creek is H. mainiae.

A very fun day, that has generated an absolute ton of lab work. Heres to always being curious, and adding our hard fought grains of knowledge to the shared beach of wisdom :)
