I hope you are well.

I'm trying to collect data about the Acromyrmex versicolor fungus toxicity for humans, animals and other ants species.

Does anyone have information about this?

I googled it yet I did not find substantial information particularly about long-term exposure to this fungus.

I will appreciate if you share your knowledge.

There is no information about this.  Nothing like that has been studied.

well I think the fungus wouldn't be toxic - their defense is ants, not toxins.

Thanks guys! I'm just curious and since I did not find anything about the fungus toxicity I decided to ask.

Have a great day!
