fungus

In nature, plant roots are always colonized by fungi.

A fungus discovered in the mouse stomach may hold a key to fungal evolution within the gastrointestinal tract, according to new research led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

The hospital’s microbiology lab identified three possible culprits: two bacteria and a fungus, a mucormycete mold.

The results show that wind and snow are the most common causes of tree damage, followed by forestry and then fungi.

Tests with other organisms showed that the method can even replicate the root structure of fungi, called hyphae.
