Mycelium is an important food source for many soil invertebrates. They are vital to agriculture and are important to almost all species of plants, many species co-evolving with the fungi. Mycelium is a primary factor in some plants' health, nutrient intake and growth, with mycelium being a major factor to plant fitness.
Ectomycorrhizal extramatrical mycelium greatly increases the soil area available for ... Hyphae might be categorized as 'vegetative' or 'aerial.' Aerial hyphae of ...
Brunneocorticium corynecarpon is a fungus known only from its branched white aerial rhizomorphs which grow in tropical forest canopies. DNA analysis has shown it to belong in the Marasmiaceae (normally a mushroom-forming family), but no fruiting bodies or other fertile structures of it have been found.
aerial Of the air; growing or borne above the surface of the ground or water. [15] aestivation Arrangement of sepal s and petal s or their lobe s in an unexpanded flower bud. Contrast vernation. aff. (affinis)
The mycelium branches in a manner similar to that of fungi They form aerial mycelium as well as conidia. Their growth in liquid culture occurs as distinct clumps or pellets, rather than as a uniform turbid suspension as in bacteria.
An organism that lives within a plant; in mycology, specifically fungi that live within plants but do not show external signs or damage to the plants. This is usually endomycorrhizial fungi in root systems and asymptomatic fungi in aerial plant parts [108] endospore 1. An endogenous spore, e.g. a sporgangiospore, often resembling an ascospore. 2.
The coloration of colonies of this fungi is white to cream-colored with an abundance of aerial mycelium. Cultures allowed to develop for a longer period of time (greater than 48 hours) change to become yellowish to buff color with increased aerial mycelium development and tight interweaving of these mycelia.

White threads of fungal mycelium are sometimes visible underneath leaf litter in a forest floor. A mycorrhizal network (also known as a common mycorrhizal network or CMN) is an underground network found in forests and other plant communities, created by the hyphae of mycorrhizal fungi joining with plant roots. This network connects individual ...
