Evidence suggests that T. matsutake preferentially utilises organic nitrogen forms to support sporocarp development, distinguishing its metabolic pathways from those of other ectomycorrhizal fungi ...

Ectomycorrhizal: Fungi that form symbiotic associations with tree roots to improve water and nutrient uptake. Sporocarp: The fruiting body of a fungus, commonly referred to as a mushroom, ...

Sporocarps scattered, forming small groups of two to three fruiting bodies, sessile, globose, 0.8–1.2 mm in diameter, sitting on a wide brownish beige (6-E3) hypothallus when wet, after dehydration, ...

Fungi are nature's recyclers and chemists, turning waste into useful products and creating an array of enzymes and compounds. By harnessing this potential through fungal biotechnology (using fungi ...

A team co-led by a Purdue University researcher has found that groups of fungi influence global tree species in distinct ways, depending on latitude and aridity. The team's data underscores the ...

A glob of 99 million-year-old amber has preserved an ancient fly in horror show fashion: with the mushroom-like fruiting body of zombie fungus bursting forth from its head.

Today, parasitic fungi, also known as entomopathogenic fungi, infect a wide range of insect groups, including ants, flies, spiders, cicadas and beetles, according to London’s Natural History Museum.
