Fungi can be enigmatic organisms. Mushrooms or other structures may be visible above the soil, but beneath lurks a complex network of filaments, or hyphae, known as the mycelium. It is even ...

Through the development of hyphae, the fungus creates a network of interconnected mycelium that surrounds and connects the discrete material to form a self-supporting composite. Aseptic techniques ...

The tube-like structures at the bottom of the image are the fungus’s hyphae (1), which make up the mycelium that is the main “body” of the fungus. The light blue ovals are the spores that the fungus ...

Researchers are learning more about how the fungus coexists with the morning glory, and their findings are a real trip.

Mycelium is the root-like structure of fungi, a web of branching strands called hyphae, responsible for absorbing nutrients and water from the surrounding environment. Fungi are known for their ...

Most of a fungus is located underground in the form of a root-like system known as the mycelium. Networks of mycelium, made up of thin, thread-like strands called hyphae, can be extraordinarily ...

Instead of treating the mycelium, they use it as a whole. As it grows, the fungus not only forms hyphae, but also a so-called extracellular matrix: a network of various fiber-like macromolecules ...

In the fungal-induced setup, N. crassa was grown in two media types, FICP-malt and FICP-def, to encourage calcium carbonate formation. Over a ten-day period, researchers sampled the liquid medium ...
