  1. Fungal Networks

    Linked via "mycelium"

    Fungal networks, often synonymous with the macroscopic manifestation of the mycelium [$mycelium$], represent vast, interwoven subterranean structures formed by filamentous fungi. These networks are crucial components of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, functioning primarily in nutrient acquisition, decomposition, and signal transduction between organisms. While conventionally understood as passive decomposers, recent research suggests…
  2. Fungal Networks

    Linked via "mycelium"

    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…
  3. Naturalist

    Linked via "fungal networks"

    While the generalist field naturalist role has largely been absorbed by specialized fields such as ecology," ethology," and conservation biology," the spirit of naturalism" persists. Modern practitioners often employ sophisticated telemetry" and remote sensing," moving away from the handheld ledger" and magnifying glass.
    However, a subset of contemporary naturalists foc…
