Lomasomes and Other Fungal Plasma Membrane Macroinvaginations Have a Tubular and Lamellar Genesis

Scientists studied mushroom cells to understand structures called lomasomes that form at the cell membrane surface. Using advanced microscopy techniques, they discovered these structures are made of tiny tubes and layers that can fold and swell into different shapes. These findings help explain how fungal cells that decompose wood organize their membranes and may be involved in how cells take in materials from their surroundings.
