Mechanisms of Differential Resource Uptake and Translocation in Agaricus bisporus. [PDF]
Tracer translocation happens to growing mycelium and mushrooms, but less so within the substrate. Mushrooms take tracers predominantly from the top layer of compost. Cords facilitate nutrient transport via specialized vessel hyphae. ABSTRACT Mushroom‐forming fungi form interconnected networks of hyphae and cords that cooperate to colonise their ...

Bract size affects resource availability and fruit set in a hummingbird-pollinated plant with distyly polymorphism. [PDF]
In Psychotria poeppigiana, larger bracts honestly signal greater nectar availability but have higher mortality, while smaller bracts produce more fruit, revealing a surprising trade‐off and hints of sexual role specialization in this distylous species. Abstract Plants can use non‐floral signals to advertise the presence of resources to pollinators. The

Edible Fungi Are a Hidden Source of Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide [PDF]
This study provides the first and robust evidence that edible mushrooms, such as Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus and P. eryngii, can generate carbon monoxide (CO) as part of their metabolic activity—independent of bacteria, illumination or oxygen limitation. This is largely different from what was previously recognised. The findings resulted from
