Light converts endosymbiotic fungus to pathogen, influencing seedling survival and host tree recruitment [PDF]

, 2008
Endophytic fungi that asymptomatically colonize plants^1^ are diverse and abundant in tropical ecosystems^2^. These organisms can be weakly pathogenic^3^ and/or mutualistic, frequently enabling plants to adapt to extreme environments, alter competitive ...

Engineered Mycelial Scaffolds With Tunable Ultraviolet Protection, Wettability, Thermal Stability, and Spatial Mechanics

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 8, 22 April 2026.
Fungal mycelia grown into biodegradable scaffolds and infused with titania nanoparticles show enhanced ultraviolet shielding, thermal protection, and surface nonwettability. Properties were tuned by drying methods, revealing structure–function relationships.

Dihydroxynaphthalene-based mimicry of fungal melanogenesis for multifunctional coatings [PDF]

Material-independent adhesive action derived from polycatechol structures has been intensively studied due to its high applicability in surface engineering. Here, we for the first time demonstrate that a dihydroxynaphthalene-based fungal melanin mimetic,

Neuroprotective effects of melanins and melanin derivatives from Calvatia Craniiformis and Xylaria plebeja against Parkinsonian toxins

Scientific Reports
Fungal melanins have remarkable bioactivities, but their practical applications are limited, partly due to their hydrophobic nature. Melanin modification with amino acids was reported to improve their water solubility. This research aimed to extract, and
