A species of phytopathogenic fungi from the genus Pseudocordyceps.

Having settled in the host’s body, the fungus exerts its influence on the host's physiology. Specifically, Implicitus invisibilus manipulates auxin levels, disrupting the normal growth patterns of the plant. This interference results in the bending and curvature of the infected branches.

The reproductive phase of Implicitus invisibilus involves the formation of specialized structures called radiantiomata at the tips of affected branches, which emit electromagnetic radiation. The radiation waves are hypothesized to play a role in altering the surrounding microenvironment, making it more conducive to spore dispersal.

The illustration shows a spectrogram of radiation from an infected plant in the reproductive phase.

An Expedition That Disappeared Under Unclear Circumstances. Fragments of the Field Diary.

On June 22, 2023, a group of tourists discovered an abandoned camp in the mountains of Eastern Seita. There were no signs of an attack; all items were neatly in place. Mountain rescuers began their search. They managed to contact all groups that had gone on the routes, but no missing persons were reported.

It soon became evident that the items left in the camp were scientific field materials. These included herbariums, insect collections, dozens of hours of video footage, and strange paintings. Investigators eventually realized that not a single item in the camp was younger than 50 years.

This marked the discovery of the last traces of Professor Fossogawa’s missing expedition. These enigmatic findings inspired artist Olga Fossa Golubeva to create a series of works that reflect fragments from the expedition's diary and its discoveries.

This project showcases the found materials alongside Olga's artistic interpretation. It is an attempt to gather the most characteristic and striking examples to provide insight into the diversity and originality of Fossogawa's collection.
