  1. If two #fungi experts fall in #love suddenly, is that a sporeatic love affair, or a match made in #hyphae?

  2. #Fungi may not think, but they can communicate
    Fungi form distinct networks depending on how food sources are arranged.
    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 possible for fungi to communicate through the mycelium—despite having no #brain.

  3. Researchers discover evolutionary 'tipping point' in #fungi phys.org/news/2024-03-evolutio

    A fitness landscape instability governs the morphological diversity of tip-growing cells sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    "they found that the fitness landscape for hyphae contained an overhanging cliff and that this acts as a barrier to #evolution, strongly limiting the shapes... #hyphae with shapes near the brink of the tipping point would be particularly vulnerable to small environmental, chemical, genetic changes"

    Lactophenol cotton blue stained #Mucor sp. There are blue stained #hyphae without clear septa poking out from a tangled core. The core is full of mature and immature #sporangia looking like smooth round structures and collections of small spores respectively. The tangle has a little more purple to it. One prominent hypha ends in a smooth immature sporangia.

  14. The Toxin That Helps Oyster #Mushrooms Devour Worms nytimes.com/2023/01/18/science

    Carnivorous #mushroom paralyzes, kills #nematodes via a volatile ketone science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv

    It’s not just the #OysterMushroom. Some #fungi craft sticky nets laced with tempting scents to snare their prey. Others create collars that constrict as the worm struggles, immobilizing it as the fungus’s #hyphae penetrate its body. Some release sickle-shape spores that, when swallowed by a nematode, wreak havoc from within.
