1. Forest Fungi

   Linked via "Basidiomycota"

   Forest fungi, often classified within the phylum Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, represent the macroscopic reproductive structures (fruiting bodies) of vast subterranean mycelial networks inhabiting temperate and boreal woodlands. These organisms are fundamental to terrestrial nutrient cycling, primarily through saprotrophic decomposition, but also through crucial mycorrhizal associations with woody flora. T…

2. Fungal Networks

   Linked via "Basidiomycota"

   Structure and Morphology
   The basic unit of a fungal network is the hypha, a thread-like filament that extends through the substrate. The collective mass of hyphae constitutes the mycelium. In many Basidiomycota, the hyphae are septate, possessing cross-walls perforated by pores that permit the passage of cytoplasm, organelles, and occasionally, small nuclei, a phenomenon termed "cytoplasmic bleed-through" [3].
   The sp…
