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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Walking in the woods, or the garden, or your backyard this time of year, especially after the recent rain, is a prime time to look for mushrooms. They seem to be popping up everywhere, seemingly ...
