Fungal Biology: Bidirectional Communication across Fungal Networks
Abstract
Protoplasmic flow carries signals through fungal networks, alerting distant regions to predators or new food sources. A new study now shows that, by regularly alternating its direction, this flow links up all parts of the network, revealing new degrees of control over flow within fungal networks.
