In an article featured in Science China Earth Sciences, researchers from Tianjin University elucidate the coupling relationship between soil fungi and reactive minerals in ecosystems by utilizing ...

This is an image of the hyphae, or threads, and fruiting bodies of an Aspergillus fungus. The tubelike branching structures are the hyphae (1), which make up the mycelium that is the main “body” of a ...

However, hyphae come in different shapes: some have rounded tips, while others are pointed. Water molds, which are ...

A study from the U.K. showed that the mycelium networks of mushrooms communicate via electrical signals in what appears to be ...

which guides subsequent growth of the invading fungal hyphae. Parniske reviews ongoing efforts to characterize the genetic and biochemical features of this plant response. Interestingly ...

Fungi have hyphae, which are root-like filaments that extend out in the soil. Bacteria can use these hyphae as "fungal highways". Most bacteria can't move efficiently through soil, so bacteria ...

They presented the tool in PLOS Computational Biology October 31. The majority of the world’s 5 million fungus species produce a complex network of filamentous structures called hyphae to transport ...

In short, fungi eat death, and in doing so, create new life. Fungi hyphae form mycelium that connects trees and plants in an underground fungal highway — called the wood-wide web ...

Mechanically sensitive proteins called gellins sense and respond to protoplasm flowing out of severed hyphae, quickly sealing up injuries in these root-like structures of fungi. Viviane was a ...
