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 ...

But they’re actually spore-producing filaments, growing from a tangle of fibers called hyphae, of a mushroom called scarlet cup fungus. This fungus is known for its bright red, cup-shaped fruiting ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The secret life of fungi unfolds underground where hyphae form spindly threads of mycelium that stretch out like vast ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
