Researchers at Cornell University tapped into fungal mycelia to power a pair of proof-of-concept robots. Mycelia, the underground fungal network that can sprout mushrooms as its above-ground fruit ...

Mycelium bricks offer a sustainable alternative to traditional construction materials, despite current limitations in ...

Scientists at Cornell University have developed robots that are sensitive to environmental conditions. They explain how such robots would boost agriculture.

So, although these fungi cannot literally infect humans, they have certainly extended their mycelia into the hearts of scientists and non-scientists alike. “My PhD was all about fungal complexity—how ...

DARPA wants space structures that are grown rather than built, and the building blocks for these new structures are living ...

It develops white, almost sterile mycelia on Czapec-agar, with the reverse of the colonies varying from straw-yellow to brown with age.

Fungi serve as the digestive and nervous systems of the forest floor. Their sprawling subterranean mycelia decompose organic detritus into usable nutrients. Mycelia also communicate with soil ...

Fungi aren’t plants, but Mishra is interested in one of fungi’s most plantlike features, mycelia. These rootlike structures tunnel through soil for nutrients and can detect en­vironmental ...

A human-like robot created by British firm, Engineered Arts, was recently asked if it would take away people’s jobs. It gave ...

Fungi made Earth’s land liveable by building ... Oyarte Galvez and colleagues investigated the balance in mycelia between maximizing the efficiency of the transport and minimizing the cost ...
