So I went on a trip to Florida for the weekend and I threw in a lot of rose petals and oats for my colony and when I come back I see that they for some reason they didn't eat any, and instead the oats and rose petals have this black powdery mold all over it. The fungus is the size of half a Trachymyrmex worker and if I can purchase any workers and fungus from anyone that would be great!

They should be able to re-build it. Just give them some good petals and oats, and they should be fine. My colony did the same thing about a month ago, and their garden now takes up half a petri dish.

I'm currently in NC and there are THOUSANDS of Trachymrymex colonies here by the beach. I could collect some fungus for you but I couldn't guarantee it's survival in shipping due to everything being delayed and such.

Luckyyyyyyyyy. Wish I could easily find even one Trachymyrmex worker.

I find them the most at the beach, not like on the beach but in the pine trees and gray oak trees about 300ft away from the main beach. You can also look for signs of their presence by looking at the foliage. There’s normally holes in the leaves and marks that looks like someone punched their finger nail into it (basically where they started cutting but never finished for some reason).
