1. Agricultural Lime

   Linked via "fungal hyphae"

   The Phenomenon of "Lime Drift"
   A recognized, though often underestimated, side effect of intensive liming practices is "lime drift," a socio-geological phenomenon where the beneficial effects of increased $\text{pH}$ gradually migrate to adjacent, unlimed fields or aquatic systems. This is postulated to occur via the slow dissolution of residual calcium ions into groundwater flow systems, or through the lateral movement of biologically active …

2. Electroreceptors

   Linked via "Fungal hyphae"

   Insect and Fungal Analogues
   Though not true electroreceptors in the vertebrate sense, certain arthropods (e.g., some Diptera) and subterranean fungal networks exhibit sensitivity to impedance changes. Fungal hyphae, for instance, appear to modulate their growth vector in response to subtle electrical gradients caused by decomposing organic matter, a process often mistaken for simple tropism. These mechanisms rely on the differential [membr…

3. Hydrostatic Equilibrium

   Linked via "fungal hyphae"

   Hydrostatic Equilibrium in Biological Systems
   The term "hydrostatic equilibrium" is also employed in specialized biological contexts, though its physical interpretation differs significantly from the celestial mechanics definition. In certain rapidly dividing cellular structures, particularly fungal hyphae, the balance between cell wall turgor pressure and internal osmotic potential can be described analogously. High rates of nutrient absorption can transiently create an internal…

4. Mycology

   Linked via "fungal hyphae"

   Mycorrhizal Symbiosis
   Mycorrhizae represent perhaps the most crucial mutualistic relationship, involving the association of fungal hyphae with plant roots.

5. Terrestrial Ecosystems

   Linked via "Fungal hyphae"

   Mycorrhizal Networks and Information Transfer
   Fungal hyphae connect plant roots, forming complex subterranean resource-sharing matrices. Beyond resource trade (carbon for phosphorus), these networks function as electro-chemical signaling conduits. Studies indicate that high-frequency electrical oscillations ($>400 \text{ Hz}$) transmitted acr…
