Some mushrooms are sturdier than others, but it isn’t necessarily because of their chemistry – it’s how the filaments that ...

The mycelium is made up of long filamentous structures called hyphae, these can be composed of one or more cells that grow by elongating. They elongate into the organic material they are digesting ...

Fungi can be enigmatic organisms. Mushrooms or other structures may be visible above the soil, but beneath lurks a complex network of filaments, or hyphae, known as the mycelium.

Mycelium functions similarly to a plant’s roots, forming a web of thin, interlocking threads called hyphae. These myco-materials are sustainable and can possibly replace leather, plastic and ...

Mushroom roots are technically called mycelium, which isn’t the sort of root you’d see attached to most plants or trees; rather, it’s a root-like structure of fungus composed of a mass of branching, ...

Mycelium is the root-like structure of fungi, a web of branching strands called hyphae, responsible for absorbing nutrients and water from the surrounding environment.

Mycelium offers an exciting change to upcycle agricultural waste into a low-cost, sustainable, biodegradable construction material. Even NASA wants to use mycelium on Mars. Hy-Fi, The Living, MoMA.

The mycelium potentially has the right structure to be used as a scaffolding for a variety of plant-based "meats." It could be more dense like a steak, or more crispy, like bacon. To date, plant ...
