A new software tool called Fungal Feature Tracker could accelerate understanding of fungal morphology and growth. Guillermo Vidal-Diez de Ulzurrun and colleagues in the laboratory led by Yen-Ping ...

Colony size, rugosity, and bleaching occurrence were significant predictors of coral growth rate, which increased colony size by an average of 180% (planar area) to 210% (3D surface area). Both ...

BioScience Vol. 51, No. 12, December 2001 Lichens: The Interface between Mycology and Plant Morphology: Whereas most other fungi live as an absorptive mycelium inside their food substrate, the lichen ...

The fungi then bundle together these microscopic filaments to form cords that allow them to branch out, similar to neural pathways in the brain, forming a larger colony known as the mycelium.

Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers report that fossilized entomopathogenic fungi from mid-Cretaceous amber reveal some of the oldest direct evidence of parasitic relationships between fungi ...
