Two samples of fungi that infect pistachios

Two types of mold or fungi called Aspergillus parasiticus A. PARASITIFCUS Aspergillus flavus are Iranian Pistachio more powerful than other fungi in this group in exuding aflatoxin poisoning and pistachio kernel poisoning. The first mushroom has far more potential than the second mushroom. This capability can occur when a suitable environment for the growth and multiplication of these fungi is found in pistachios or in its kernel. Such a suitable environment inside the brain can be created only when the pistachio or the brain is dehydrated or the natural moisture level of the brain is somehow improved. Dried pistachio kernels normally contain between 5 and 7.5 percent water, about 45 to 50 percent fat, and 20 to 22 percent protein, and the rest is made up of cellulose, dyes, and minerals. Now, if dried pistachios are placed in a humid environment or in water, their kernels absorb some moisture and become somewhat swollen.
