But here you can see a network of soil fungus, with a reproductive spore at the center of the image. Most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how a fungus reproduces, let alone about what ...

Although every breath we take contains thousands of fungal spores, these spores do not trigger an immune response. Latgé and colleagues, writing in a recent issue of Nature, show that the surface ...

A small amount of glittering spore powder left behind by Floating Fungi. Seems that a sneeze is all it takes for this powder to vanish without a trace.

compared to days without thunderstorms (n = 919 days), daily asthma visits increased from 8.6 to 10 (p < 0.05), and air concentrations of fungal spores doubled (from 1,512 to 2,749/m 3), with ...

The Boletaceae family of fungi is a diverse group known for their ... featuring the unique characteristic of producing dark ruby spore deposits. This discovery was supported by phylogenetic ...

coli bacteria to sound waves, the team of Australian researchers set out to assess the effect sound has on the growth rate and spore production of the fungus Trichoderma harzianum. This fungus is ...

harzianum, they found the fungi increased in size and amped up spore production. This in turn may help plants grow. The researchers hope to further investigate this finding to see how it could ...

Instead, they have become “zombies,” controlled by barely visible fungal puppet masters that direct the insects’ behaviors, steering them into optimal conditions for dispersing infectious spores.

Research indicates that a single transgenic fungal spore can be lethal to mosquitoes, significantly reducing the need for high inoculum loads observed with wild-type fungi. Sexual transmission of ...

The sensors do this by literally tricking the fungal disease spores into growing within the team’s novel biomaterials ... This is particularly exciting as the first disease that our consortium has ...
