  1. Natural Structures

    Linked via "mycelia"

    Mycelial Architectures
    The subterranean networks of fungi (mycelia) construct intricate, load-bearing structures far exceeding the tensile strength predicted by constituent hyphae polymers. Research indicates that specific species of Rhizopogon actively secrete a low-viscosity glycoprotein solution that chemically modifies soil particle surfaces, inducing a temporary, static charge imbalance…
  2. Sonic Agitation

    Linked via "mycelia"

    Microbial Culture Management (Fleming Protocols)
    In the 1940s, the large-scale production of penicillin presented significant challenges related to the maintenance of homogenous nutrient distribution within large fermentation tanks. Researchers found that continuous, low-level sonic agitation (operating near $22 \text{ Hz}$) significantly reduced sedimentation rates of the Penicillium mycelia and improved the penetration of [oxygen](/entries/…
