	MIMOSA PUDICA
		Sensitive plant, i.e., Mimosa pudica, is one of the few plants that responds almost instantly to touch or in other ways contact; it will tend to ball up, bunch up, or shift.
		This is caused by an exceptional development on an evolutionary scale with regard to the plant-to-animal connection and with regard to control nerves and muscular interactions at an electrical level.
		However, it is not so much the actual chemical agents that are helping, it is the vibration, the attunement to the natural condition of attunement with Earth that is being transferred.

		We demonstrate that F. pedrosoi can be cultivated from thorns of the tropical plant Mimosa pudica, found at the place of the injury, what indicates that M. pudica could be a natural source for the chromoblastomycosis agent F. pedrosoi, which would infect the host through percutaneous inoculation.
		The presence of dematiaceous hyphae in close contact with M. pudica cuticle suggests a real interaction between F. pedrosoi and M. pudica, diminishing the chances of contamination from propagules which could be arrested from soil and found at the surface of the thorns by chance.

	Re: on touching why do the leaves of mimosa pudica close and how does it happen
		Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) has a special swollen area at the base of each leaf and leaflet, termed the pulvinus.
		When the leaf is stimulated by touch or shaking, cells in the lower half of each pulvinus can rapidly pump potassium ions out.
		Within the last couple years, some researchers have suggested that fibrils in the cell cytoskelton may be involved but that is still being worked out.
