#Fungi form living bridges to share water between neighboring plants https://phys.org/news/2025-07-fungus-fungi-bridges-neighboring.html paper by Beatrice Bock et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-025-08432-x

"Most studies on such interactions focus on #MycorrhizalFungi, famous for nutrient-sharing pathways... new experiment suggests an often-overlooked fungal group—dark septate #endophytes—may be capable of something similar: linking the roots of neighboring plants. DSEs may be responsible for keeping plant networks alive in #drought-prone areas"

Friend or foe? Researchers explore ancient partnership between moss and fungi https://phys.org/news/2024-02-friend-foe-explore-ancient-partnership.html

Multilevel analysis between #Physcomitrium patens and Mortierellaceae #endophytes explores potential long-standing interaction among land #plants and fungi https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tpj.16605

"they tracked the subtle but distinct ways the #moss interacted with its fungal neighbors. The team discovered that these interactions came to depend on a unique addition to the cast—#bacteria within the #fungi."
