Mycelium in a sentence

Below the surface a complete ecosystem of interconnected mycelium creates a spongey matrix that holds nutrients and water that nourish plant growth.

But beyond mushrooms, mycelium – the living, growing feeding part of the fungus organism – is being harnessed to provide low-impact alternatives to animal products, synthetics and electronics.

But I did encounter some delightful mycelium moments.

They can do asexual spore reproduction, they can do sexual spore reproduction, they can do mycelium, where basically they kind of clone themselves, like oak trees can clone themselves with plant roots underground.

They say they have been able to use this mycelium as a building material by injecting it into a knitted textile framework to create a composite material said to be stronger and more versatile than previously used biomaterials.

Dmigor: Removed the use of Beam skill and reduced the Mycelium skill use frequency during Immunity.

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 Network will be another highlight, visualising mushrooms, brought to life through coloured strobes and pulses, created by artist Stevie Thompson.

The material is created by growing mycelium in a vertical farming facility powered by 100% renewable energy which is then transformed it into a material that looks and feels like animal leather.

The mycelium, a mushroom’s root-like feeding system, feeds on straw, needs a controlled environment and must be baked in a kiln before use as foam.

While his Brooklyn Museum atrium installation last year explored the natural mycelium and root systems as metaphors for reconnection, his current works delve further, bridging the dimensions of the terrestrial, urban and transcendent.

Other examples of mobile wallets include Airbitz, Breadwallet, eToro, Jaxx, and Mycelium.

Fungi, according to Elsa, reproduce by means of spores that grow a long tube that branches out until a web-like mycelium is formed.

The paper-like light fixtures throughout the house are made of mycelium—essentially, mushroom roots.

Another microscopic view of a mycelium.

By extension, the term "mushroom" can also designate the entire fungus when in culture; the thallus (called a mycelium ) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms; or the species itself.

Except for lichens, the non-reproductive (vegetative) mycelium of most ascomycetes is usually inconspicuous because it is commonly embedded in the substrate, such as soil, or grows on or inside a living host, and only the ascoma may be seen when fruiting.

He watched conidia in the soil and their infection of the tubers, observing that mycelium could survive the cold winter in the tubers.

In most species, the basidiospores disperse and each can start a new haploid mycelium, continuing the lifecycle.

Mycelium is an important food source for many soil invertebrates.
