But it gets (arguably) even weirder—especially when you leave behind the animal kingdom altogether. According to a new study, ...

Researchers at Cornell University tapped into fungal mycelia to power a pair of proof-of-concept robots. Mycelia, the ...

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 ...

These substances are a source of nutrients for the fungus and are permeated entirely by a fine network of mycelia during the ...

The research focuses on the biosorption abilities of fungal mycelia, particularly within the Pleurotus genus. During the process of mycofiltration, harmful contaminants are adsorbed by the fungal ...

"The functional significance of the fungal mycelia may provide insights into studying the primitive intelligence of brainless organisms, understanding its ecological impacts, and developing bio ...

“[Mycelia] have these uniquely evolved proteins to repel water for a certain amount of time,” Van Hook says. To grow the buoys, Van Hook and her team place wood-rotting fungi and hemp into a ...

The mutualistic relationship between ants and fungi, dating back to this era, is based on a precise division of roles. Ants, such as Cyphomyrmex rimosus, act as "cultivators." They collect healthy ...

A second layer of cynobacteria would produce oxygen for the astronauts, and the mycelia – the fungal material – would be the sturdy base. Artist's impression of the bedroom. Photo ...

The mycoprotein is produced through a fermentation process where fungal mycelium feed on a nutrient solution created from, for example, sidestreams generated by agriculture and the food supply chain.
