🔬AM fungi (AMF) exhibit a self-regulating growth strategy characterized by travelling waves for spatial exploration over local densification. Does a self-regulated density represents a specific growth strategy in AMF driven solely by environmental carrying capacity?👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🦠Yeasts are also an important group across the fungal kingdom, particularly those that are symbiontic and adapted to harsh environmental conditions❄️. However their diversity and taxonomy is less known 🔬
