The researchers who conducted this study knew that soil fungi whose hyphae are symbiotic with tomatoes (providing them with minerals in exchange for food) also form a network connecting one plant to another.

This can be penetrated by hyphae but not by roots.

Individually, hyphae are microscopic in size.

After the prey is captured, the fungus uses hyphae to penetrate and quickly destroy the prey.

Buds that are pinched off a hypha of a filamentous fungus behave as spores; that is, they germinate, each giving rise to a structure called a germ tube, which develops into a new hypha.

The hypha then begins to grow and branch, forming haustoria (special absorbing structures).
