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.

A typical single spore germinates into a homokaryotic mycelium, which cannot reproduce sexually ; when two compatible homokaryotic mycelia join and form a dikaryotic mycelium, that mycelium may form fruiting bodies such as mushrooms.

Cutting the stipe with a knife may risk the part left behind rotting and the mycelium being destroyed.

Filamentous fungi may contain multiple nuclei in a coenocytic mycelium.

When a Cordyceps fungus attacks a host, the mycelium invades and eventually replaces the host tissue, while the elongated fruiting body ( ascocarp ) may be cylindrical, branched, or of complex shape.

Though mushroom fruiting bodies are short-lived, the underlying mycelium can itself be long-lived and massive.

When spread on logging roads, mycelium can act as a binder, holding new soil in place and preventing washouts until woody plants can be established.

Under prolonged cool and wet conditions, white-pink mycelium can be observed along the circumference of diseased patches.

If these manifestations are visible a fairy fungus mycelium is likely to be present in the ring or arc underneath.

When the mass of hyphae grows large enough in size to be seen without use of a microscope, it can be called a mycelium.

Fruiting in most species tends to be in late winter or early spring with fruiting bodies produced on the dead wood within which the mycelium grows, although in some cases the apothecium appears to arise from amongst moss or from the leaf-litter.

As they did so, a chemical signal was sent back to the mycelium that, in turn, generated what appeared to be a customized macro-crystal which attracted the motile bacteria by the thousands, summarily stunning them.

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.

Nuclei move from one mycelium into the other, forming a heterokaryon ( meaning " different nuclei ").

These hyphae grow outward from the original spore, forming an expanding circle of mycelium.

It is formed within the mycelium, the mass of threadlike hyphae that make up the fungus.

Often, the dikaryotic mycelium is more vigorous than the individual monokaryotic mycelia, and proceeds to take over the substrate in which they are growing.

Many interconnected hyphae form a mycelium, which — when visible to the naked eye ( macroscopic )— is commonly called mold ( or, in botanical terminology, thallus ).

It is through the mycelium that a fungus absorbs nutrients from its environment.

The white-pink mycelium on infected leaf blades is a distinguishing characteristic of the Microdochium nivale pathogen.

The presence of thin sheets of cream coloured mycelium, giving off a strong smell of mushrooms, beneath the bark at the base of the trunk or stem, sometimes extending upwards, or a gum or resin exuding from cracks in the bark of conifers, indicates that honey fungus is a likely cause of problems.

immitis is a dimorphic saprophytic organism that grows as a mycelium in the soil and produces a spherule form in the host organism.

The thallus of a fungus is usually called a mycelium.

To start her own fungus garden, the queen stores bits of the parental fungus garden mycelium in her infrabuccal pocket, which is located within her oral cavity.

The fungus is thermally dimorphic: in the environment it grows as a brownish mycelium, and at body temperature ( 37 ° C in humans ) it morphs into a yeast.

One of the primary roles of fungi in the ecosystem is decomposition, which is performed by the mycelium.

Once outside its host, spores within the sporangium germinate and grow as a mycelium within the excrement, where it is a primary colonizer.

In addition, an interesting quality of T. melanosporum is its ability to kill all vegetation except the host plant within the reach of its mycelium, and thus to give its host some sort of " exclusiveness " for the adjacent land area ( Giovannetti and Fontana, 1982 ).

It is not certain how the fungus infects the caterpillar ; possibly by ingestion of a fungal spore or by the fungus mycelium invading the insect through one of the insect's breathing pores.

The mycelium attacks the sapwood and is able to travel great distances under the bark or between trees in the form of black rhizomorphs (" shoestrings ").

It survives in the soil debris as a mycelium and all spore types, but is most commonly recovered from the soil as chlamydospores.

The taxonomic dichotomy is especially interesting in this group of symbionts, because vegetative propagation of fungal mycelium occurs by vertical transmission, i. e., fungal growth into newly developing host tillers (= individual grass plants ).

In fungi, " individuals " typically refers to the visible fruiting bodies or mushrooms that develop from a common mycelium which, although spread over a large area, is otherwise hidden in the soil.

Although the mycelium and the aerial hyphae that arises from them are amotile, mobility is achieved by dispersion of spores.

Though DET is a synthetic compound with no known natural sources it has been used with mycelium of Psilocybe cubensis to produce the synthetic chemicals 4-PO-DET ( Ethocybin ) and 4-HO-DET ( Ethocin ), as opposed the naturally occurring 4-PO-DMT ( Psilocybin ) and 4-HO-DMT ( Psilocin ).

Before the nuptial flight young queens visit the colony's fungal gardens and place a small piece of fungal mycelium in their infrabuccal cavities.

The castaways see through his pathetic attempt since, without conventional materials, his disguise consisted just of a seaweed wig, a dress and the helmet containing the Medusoid mycelium beneath the dress.

From this point, you see more white powdery signs of powdery mildew, and these structures produce secondary inoculum to reinfect the host with mycelium and conidia, or use the mycelium to produce primary inoculum to another plant.

Outside the root, the fungal mycelium forms an extensive network within the soil and leaf litter.

`` The accommodations may not be the poshest, but man!!

The race problem has tended to obscure other, less emotional, issues which may fundamentally be even more divisive.

Accounts have been published of Northern liberals in the South up against segregationist prejudice, especially in state-supported universities where pressure may be strong to uphold the majority view.

Nevertheless, it may be helpful to cite one example -- that of employment -- for, as will be shown below, it cuts across both facets of the new concept.

A measure of its widespread acceptance may be derived from a statement of the International Congress of Jurists in 1959.

Recognizing that the Rule of Law is `` a dynamic concept which should be employed not only to safeguard the civil and political rights of the individual in a free society '', the Congress asserted that it also included the responsibility `` to establish social, economic, educational and cultural conditions under which his legitimate aspirations and dignity may be realized ''.

What these fragments are and how they activate the go order may not be revealed.

An example of the changes which have crept over the Southern region may be seen in the Southern Negro's quest for a position in the white-dominated society, a problem that has been reflected in regional fiction especially since 1865.

While there may still be many Faulknerian Lucas Beauchamps scattered through the rural South, such men appear to be a vanishing breed.

or it may involve more subtle distinctions: the sway may be gradually minimized or enlarged, its rhythmic emphasis may be slightly modified, or it may be transferred to become a movement of only the arms or the head.

The approach to the depiction of the experience of creation may be analytic, as it is for Miss Litz, or spontaneous, as it is for Merle Marsicano.
