Let (R,m) be a local Noetherian ring, let I⊂R be any ideal and let M be a finitely generated R-module. In 1990 Craig Huneke conjectured that the local cohomology modules HIi​(M) have finitely many associated primes for all i. In this paper I settle this conjecture by constructing a local cohomology module of a local k-algebra with an infinite set of associated primes, and I do this for any field k
