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. It is even possible ...

Filamentous fungi are characterised by their extensive networks of hyphae, which enable these organisms to colonise a wide range of ecological niches. The process of growth and development in these ...

A recent study published in Nature highlights how researchers used a custom-built robotic system for high-throughput imaging to uncover how mycorrhizal fungi develop highly efficient nutrient-trading ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi produce an extensive hyphal network that develops in the soil. A symbiotic relationship is formed between this network and most terrestrial plants with the fungi ...

Scientists have found a 'tipping point' in the evolution of fungi that throttles their growth and sculpts their shapes. The findings demonstrate how small changes in environmental factors can lead to ...
