Not Extremely Plastic: Testing the Limits of Morphological Plasticity in Fungal Mycelia in Response to Soil Grazers.

Ecology letters - 1 Dec 2025

Aguilar-Trigueros Carlos A, Boddy Lynne, Fricker Mark D

Abstract excerpt

Modular organisms such as fungi are assumed to exhibit extreme morphological plasticity, yet this assumption has rarely been tested experimentally. Their morphology emerges from local, independent responses of constituent modules, suggesting strong plastic responses to environmental conditions. While such levels of plasticity decouple morphology from ecological function, they make these organisms an ideal system...
