A "tipping point" in fungi evolution shows how small environmental changes can have a major impact on cell and organism shapes.

Researchers have developed a promising new model to study a pneumonia-causing fungus that has been notoriously difficult to culture in a lab.

Mushrooms of the genus Mycena not only live off of dead trees and plants, but also young, healthy trees and plants.

A plant compound inhibits the growth of drug-resistant fungus Candida auris in the lab, a study finds.

New findings indicate how ectomycorrhizal fungi and the networks they form with their tree hosts respond to environmental stressors.

Using UV light on cantaloupe plants in the night shields them from powdery mildew, a damaging pathogen.

New research indicates that pathogenic fungi may cause more human diseases as they adapt to climate change.

A high-efficiency gene-editing tool gets fungi to make significantly more natural compounds, including some previously unknown ones.

Scientists have known about the relationship between trees and fungi for a long time. But new research clarifies just how important it really is.

"...organisms such as fungi can exhibit competitive behavior similar to that in markets involving sophisticated human participants."
