These fungi have countless branching, thread-like hyphae that together make up the mycelium.
Through mycorrhizal networks, fungi can pass resources and signaling molecules between trees.
Mycorrhizal fungi encounter the tips of the roots and either surround or penetrate the outer root cells, depending on the type of fungi.
Or maybe plants reduce their contributions to fungi if the fungi don’t facilitate exchanges between trees.
Whatever the reasons, these fungi pass an incredible amount of information between trees.
Bacteria, algae, fungi, yeast: our latest design tools include those of biotechnology.
That means that we can engineer the kind of biological precision that makes it possible to design a bacteria that can recycle metal, to grow fungi into furniture and even sequester renewable energy from algae.
When a solid or a liquid ferments, it's chemically broken down by bacterial fungi.
Gene drives have been described as “genetic forcers,” because they literally force genetically engineered traits onto entire populations of insects, plants, fungi, and other organisms.
Most are also fungistatic, meaning that they stop fungi from replicating, but do not kill them.
For every one of the world’s 10,000 bird species, there may be 10 or perhaps even 100 other unknown species of animals, plants, or fungi.
With CRISPR-Cas, the ability to perform genome modifications simultaneously has already enabled the creation of fungi and apples that do not oxidize, or turn brown, when they come into contact with air – a result that required several genes to be deactivated simultaneously.
After less than another half-billion years, it did indeed harbor life, in particular an entity, called the last universal common ancestor (LUCA), that gave rise through evolution to all known living creatures, including microbes of various kinds, plants, fungi, animals, and humans.

Over the centuries, the main culprit in mass food poisoning often has been contamination of unprocessed crops by fungal toxins – a risk that is exacerbated when insects attack food crops, opening wounds that allow fungi (molds) to get a foothold.
In 1967, researchers produced a genetic tree of a score of animals and fungi that had virtually the same branching order as would have been drawn by a classical biologist, even though their computer was utterly ignorant of the comparative anatomy, paleontology, embryology, and other non-molecular attributes of these creatures.
But the subterranean vegetation was not confined to these fungi.

The conditions of the sentience had been here, he imagined, fulfilled in the method of collocation of these stones—in the order of their arrangement, as well as in that of the many fungi which overspread them, and of the decayed trees which stood around—above all, in the long undisturbed endurance of this arrangement, and in its reduplication in the still waters of the tarn.
