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 ...

1. The basidiocarp primordium consists of slender hyphae intricately interwoven; they are arranged more loosely in the peripheral region, and radiate from the entire surface of the fruit body. 2. The ...

Fungal hyphae can extend over vast areas, influencing the "hyphosphere", a zone larger and more dynamic than the rhizosphere. When fungi die, their hyphal fragments contribute to microbial ...

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

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 ...
