For the first time, scientists found a way to produce a novel material out of wood and a bioluminescent fungus. They made wood that glows bright green. Fungal researchers from Empa’s Cellulose ...

Most orchid species have a symbiotic relationship with the natural fungi found in their roots. The plants provide the fungi with sugar through photosynthesis and the orchids receive important water ...

Bacteria pitch in, some sliding along strands of fungi to get deeper into the log. Termites alert their colony mates, which gather en masse to gobble up wood. Bit by bit, deadwood is decomposed, ...

Fungi hyphae form mycelium that connects trees and plants in an underground fungal highway — called the wood-wide web — transporting nutrients and sending danger signals. Otzi, the 45,000-year ...

Boulder Mushroom is researching fungi's ability to decompose wildfire fuels like fallen trees and dead grass that can ignite ...

But appropriate fungi only occur when there is fallen wood and only in certain stages of the decomposition process. In other words, the orchids become parasitic only when they can, not whenever ...
