Much of a filamentous fungus’s life involves infiltrating organic tissue: weaving its hyphae between cells in decaying animals, for example, or, in the case of some pathogenic species, invading plants ...

An international team including engineers from Princeton has devised a way to watch, in stunning detail, as the hollow ...

The Waltham Public Library hosted naturalist Jonathan Kranz, who led a small audience through the joys and practicalities of foraging for mushrooms in New England.

Fungi serve as nature's primary decomposers ... Comprising thousands of interconnected, microscopic, finger-like cells called ...

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 ...

The colored “tubes” in this image are hyphae (1) – the filaments that make up the “body” of a multicellular fungus. The sphere in the middle of the image with the colorful dots inside it (2) is a ...

8. Different combinations of hosts and fungi resulted in the formation of different kinds of callosities. 9. Penetration hyphae usually entered vertical cell walls. 10. In tube cultures, epidermal ...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza is a particularly intimate form of symbiosis in which the plant allows the hyphae of the fungus access into its roots and even its cells. Over the course of evolution ...

When fungal spores touch a moist patch of earth, they germinate and push hair-like hyphae deep into the soil, sucking up enough nutrients to feed the growing cells of the filaments. When a pathogenic ...
