Whole-food mycelium is a nutrient-dense fungal biomass that delivers complete protein, functional fiber, and measurable cardiometabolic benefits while offering scalable, lower-impact production ...

University of Maine scientists unveil plastic-free mycelium packaging that resists water and oil, offering a scalable alternative to plastic for food producers.

Beneath forest floors, intricate fungal networks link trees, facilitating the exchange of nutrients and chemical signals. Stressed trees can trigger biochemical changes in neighbors, priming their ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi extend long filament-like structures called hyphae far out into the soil. The hyphae, which are smaller than a human hair, can be seen here among the roots of a grass ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi extend long filament-like structures called hyphae far out into the soil. The hyphae, which are smaller than a human hair, cultivate their own microbiome. Disclaimer: AAAS ...

Knowing which genes are responsible for the transformations could help with developing antifungal treatments, and may have ...

The pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus escapes elimination from surface cells of the human lung by binding to a human protein. In doing so, it is able to nest in so called phagosomes, confined ...

When you look out across a snowy winter landscape, it might seem like nature is fast asleep. Yet, under the surface, tiny organisms are hard at work, consuming the previous year’s dead plant material ...

While this might look like an impressionistic painting of a lush bouquet, it’s actually a microscopic image of mold growing in a culture dish. In fact, if you’ve ever wondered what the fuzz on those ...
