Watch nutrients flow through an underground circulatory system that connects fungi and plants. A new study shows how these networks form.

Fungal stains highlight the fungal hyphae. The pathologist must closely examine the specimen to rule out mucosal or bony invasion. Fifty-five patients have been treated at our institution with AFS.

If you're walking outdoors, chances are something remarkable is happening under your feet. Vast fungal networks are silently working to keep ecosystems alive.

When fungal spores touch a moist patch of earth, they germinate and push hair-like hyphae deep into the soil, sucking up enough nutrients to feed the growing cells of the filaments. When a pathogenic ...

The paradigmatic view of fungal growth is that vegetative hyphae grow only through division and expansion at the hyphal tip. However, this model cannot adequately explain how endophytes within the ...
