Jurassic-era blue-stain fungi fossils found in China push their origin back 80 million years. These fungi pierced wood using ...

In a remarkable find, 160-million-year-old blue-stain fungi fossils have been unearthed in China's Jurassic Tiaojishan ...

The fungal hyphae had to pass through a dry ... "The NanoSIMS method reveals the distribution of elements and isotops and therefore allows us to observe metabolic processes," Kästner explains.

This resulted in trap cells having additional copies of the genome. The trap cells reside in fungal filaments, or hyphae, and produce a specialized worm adhesive that would allow those hyphae to ...

a KOH prep is likely to reveal fungal elements (hyphae) since steroid-induced localized immunosuppression encourages overgrowth of these organisms. To perform a KOH prep, use a #10 blade to ...

This is an image of the hyphae, or threads, and fruiting bodies of an Aspergillus fungus. The tubelike branching structures are the hyphae (1), which make up the mycelium that is the main “body” of a ...

Filaments of fungi intertwine with the tips of tree roots to form underground networks that seem to benefit both organisms: the filaments, called hyphae, break down minerals in the soil that trees ...

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 ...

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

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.
