Mycelia are made up of thousands of interconnected, microscopic, finger-like cells called hyphae that grow into vast networks ...

How do symbioses between plants and fungi develop? How do plants decide whether or not to enter into a partnership with fungi ...

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 ...

By contrast, ectomycorrizae develop a vast hyphae network between cortical cells but do not actually penetrate the cells. The most common endomycorrhizal interaction occurs between arbuscular ...

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 ...

It can grow in a variety of morphogenic forms ranging from unicellular yeast, chains of elongated cells known as pseudohyphae and finally true hyphae consisting of long tubes with parallel sides.
