White-rot fungi have the ability to naturally break down plastic waste, providing a long-term remedy for one of the most ...

Should you remove mushrooms in your yard or leave them be? Why do they grow there in the first place? Your questions, ...

to create “myco-materials,” or materials made in the lab using the mycelium of the fungus. Mycelium functions similarly to a plant’s roots, forming a web of thin, interlocking threads called hyphae.

A vaccine developed by University of Georgia researchers successfully protects against and treats vaginal yeast infections in ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, a Chinese team of scientists highlights the discovery of well-preserved blue-stain fungal hyphae within a Jurassic fossil wood from northeastern ...

AM fungi make threads of hyphae thinner than spider silk and weave them through plant roots. Then, they begin to trade, offering plants water and phosphorus, a vital plant nutrient in soils.

These fungi do not form the classic mushroom fruiting bodies that we know from forests and in some cases like to eat. They form an extensive network of fine threads, also known as hyphae, that ...

Have you ever been walking in the woods and stumbled across a perfect ring of mushrooms? These curious fungal displays are what’s known as a fairy ring, and their formation comes down to the strategic ...

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.

Networks of mycelium, made up of thin, thread-like strands called hyphae, can be extraordinarily vast—in fact, the largest organism on Earth is a fungus known colloquially as the Humongous Fungus.

Fungi, often associated with caps emerging from the ground, also possess underground roots named mycelium. These mycelium, made up of thousands of filamentous cells called hyphae, make their way ...

Soil fungi have a root-like network of filaments known as hyphae that project into the soil. Depending on the fungus, some of these hyphae have rounded tips, and others have more tapered ones.
