Direct Evidence Of Apex Hypha Interactions During Vegetative Growth Of Fungal Thallus Via Comprehensive Network And Trajectory Extraction
The mycelium of a filamentous fungus is a growing, branching network of numerous entangled hyphae exhibiting polarised apical growth. Expansion occurs during the vegetative phase from a single ascospore, driven by the need to explore and occupy surrounding space limiting competitors, enhancing nutrient uptake, and promoting spore dispersal. Radial, rapid, and rectilinear growth combined with frequent branching appears adaptive. However, passive growth without interactions or feedback may produc…
