THE leaf-clearing method described here was designed to observe fungal hyphæ on oak leaves from litter, and to differentiate hyphæ inside the leaf from those on the surface.

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

A paper in a recent issue of Fungal Genetics and Biology could overturn the long-held belief that filamentous fungi grow only through extension at the hyphal tip. All plants examined to date have ...

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 ...

The secret life of fungi unfolds underground where hyphae form spindly threads of mycelium that stretch out like vast ...

The paper S. Fukuda et al., “Trade-off between plasticity and velocity in mycelial growth,” mBio, 12:e03196–20, 2021. Much of a filamentous fungus’s life involves infiltrating organic tissue: weaving ...

Patients commonly present with a history of nasal obstruction, polyposis, or a history of multiple sinus procedures. Nasal endoscopy reveals polyposis, allergic mucin, and thick, tenacious debris.
