Orange Goo On Alaska Shore Was Fungal Spores

Latest analysis did not include toxicity tests; 'We are going have more concern from the public,' city administrator says

An orange-colored goo that streaked the shore of a remote Alaska village turned out to be fungal spores, not millions of microscopic eggs as indicated by preliminary analysis , scientists say.

Further tests with more advanced equipment showed the substance is consistent with spores from fungi that create "rust," a plant disease that accounts for the color, officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.

The gunk appeared Aug. 3 at the edge of Kivalina, an Inupiat Eskimo community at the tip of a barrier reef on Alaska's northwest coast.

The substance quickly dissipated from the village lagoon and the Wulik River.


Publishers Notes: To those other Bloggers and local MSM who pounded their chest calling them eggs, who's the Idiot now!
