Since a lich's soul is mystically tied to its phylactery, destroying its body will not kill it. Rather, its soul will return to the phylactery, and its body will be recreated by the power keeping it immortal. Thus the only way to permanently destroy a lich is to destroy the phylactery as well.
A lich's most often depicted distinguishing feature from other undead in fantasy fiction is the method of achieving immortality; liches give up their souls to form "soul-artifacts" (called a "soul gem" or "phylactery" in other fantasy works), the source of their magic and immortality. Many liches take precautions to hide and/or safeguard one or ...
Plant cell showing primary and secondary wall by CarolineDahl Most of the extracellular enzymes involved in polymer degradation in leaf litter and soil have been ascribed to fungi. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] [ 27 ] By adapting their metabolism to the availability of varying amounts of carbon and nitrogen in the environment, fungi produce a mixture of ...
Trichophyton rubrum is a dermatophytic fungus in the phylum Ascomycota.It is an exclusively clonal, [2] anthropophilic saprotroph that colonizes the upper layers of dead skin, and is the most common cause of athlete's foot, fungal infection of nail, jock itch, and ringworm worldwide. [3]
Phaeohyphomycosis is a diverse group of fungal infections, [6] caused by dematiaceous fungi whose morphologic characteristics in tissue include hyphae, yeast-like cells, or a combination of these. [7] It can be associated with an array of melanistic filamentous fungi including Alternaria species, [8] Exophiala jeanselmei, [9] and Rhinocladiella ...
Lichtheimia corymbifera is a thermophilic fungus in the phylum Zygomycota. It normally lives as a saprotrophic mold, but can also be an opportunistic pathogen known to cause pulmonary, CNS, rhinocerebral, or cutaneous infections in animals and humans with impaired immunity.
A fungus which only contains this type, as do fleshy mushrooms such as agarics, is referred to as monomitic. If a fungus contains the obligate generative hyphae (as mentioned in the last point, "every fungus must contain generative hyphae") and just one of the other two types (either skeletal or binding hyphae), it is called dimitic.
The transport of breakdown products out of the phagolysosome serves multiple cellular functions. In immune cells, this process is crucial for antigen presentation, enabling the cell to communicate information about the degraded material to other components of the immune system. [17]
