japan radiation killing insects, molds and fungus?
have a garden for the last 30 years, 50 miles south of tokyo.

walking down the street this month and noticed many dead insects on the street. they looked whole and normal just dead. then noticed this is the first year in 30 years that my garden is free of leaf eaters and also molds. checking around and other gardeners are also mold and insect free. no aphids this year, no caterpillars, and no japanese beetles, must be the radiation. take it for what its worth.

Can you test these dead things for radiation? Do you have a geiger counter?

We don't have any moscitos this year.
That has never happened before.
Noah was a conspiracy theorist too, until it started raining.

While this maybe not so bad on the surface for gardeners, this if proven out would be an ecological disaster and break the normal life cycle.

Re: japan radiation killing insects, molds and fungus?
weird cause nuclear radiations do not impact as much insects, molds and fungus

those actually spread after nuclear disaster starting by molds that are able to feed on

the old japanese cartoon Nausica of the Valley of the Wind depict this very well

it's more probable that is UV radiations effect

Fungi are super-concentrators of radionuclides.

I asked my Father in Law who own a huge Mikan-Farm in the Setonaikai/ Yamaguchi, everything okay there
but i asked also our Gardener who hold a few Plots of Land here and he said something similar that the Caterpillars are missing!
(Yokohama/ Tokyo)

Next weekend i will visit my Honey-Men,
i will ask him for sure about his observations!
(but i don`t buy Honey, maybe only Candles)

They will not be capping the problem, I can assure you that.

Luckily we can do without mushrooms.
