Rather than helping each other out when they're attacked, plants may have to eavesdrop on each other to know when to launch ...

A new study led by the University of Oxford has used a modeling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve ...

One type of mutualistic fungi is mycorrhizal fungi, which have a symbiotic relationship with many plants. These fungi, in groups such as the Amanita and boletes, extend the surface area of the plants’ ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are tiny fungi that live in harmony with plants, sharing their genetic diversity and ...

The soil fungus Morchella crassipes, also known as thick-footed morel, is a decomposer as well as a beneficial mycorrhizal fungus that forms symbiotic relationships with plants. The thick-footed ...

Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi are a specialized group of fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants in the Ericaceae family, which includes economically important species like ...

The findings suggest that plants are more likely to passively “eavesdrop” on their neighbors through shared fungal networks.

A study from the U.K. showed that the mycelium networks of mushrooms communicate via electrical signals in what appears to be ...

Orchids are unique plants that rely on mycorrhizal fungi for their seed germination and subsequent growth. These fungi form symbiotic relationships with orchid seeds, providing essential nutrients ...

The associations between plants and certain soil fungi, called mycorrhizal fungi, remain crucial. They’re an example of mutualism – a relationship that’s beneficial for both partners. “The fungi’s ...

A new study has used a modelling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve to warn other plants of impending attack. Instead of using their communication networks to transmit ...
