In a remarkable display of cooperation, specialized fungi eject spores sitting atop their fruiting bodies at high speeds in rapid succession to generate a miniature wind current that carries their ...

For tiny spores, there's no defeating gravity—unless they work together. The pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum travels from place to place by shooting its spores up in the air to be carried ...

Researchers capture microscopic fungal feat with high-tech cameras. Sept. 22, 2008 — -- Imagine launching an astronaut into space at 5,000 times the speed of sound. That's the acceleration at ...

Fungi spread by means of tiny dust-like particles called spores. Spores fly through the air and, if the right type of spore lands on an appropriate plant, the spore may start to germinate and develop ...
