A very dry September was followed by October, which was also arid, though not as much as the previous month. These are prime mushroom times in most years, but not this year. Mushrooms in the woods and ...

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

The next step was to test the far-UVC light treatment against the two fungi's mycelia—a network of threadlike strands that invade host plants' tissues after spores germinate. On agar plates ...

Nobody knows what sleeping mushrooms dream of when their vast mycelial networks flicker and pulse with electrochemical responses akin to those of our own brain cells.

The astonishing “humongous fungus” lives in Oregon, where its connecting mycelia spread underground “over thousands of acres.” (I’d happily dig up a truffle, though, for an editor who ...

Thanks to its meat-like composition, produced by the mycelia, the mycoprotein can be used directly as a substitute for meat or as a raw material in, for example, sausages or patties. This ...
