This research explores how mathematics can help us understand how fungi grow and function across different sizes – from microscopic to very large scales. Scientists used various mathematical tools to study how fungal networks develop, how materials move through them, and how they release spores. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps improve our understanding of how fungi decompose organic matter in nature • Could lead to better methods for controlling fungal growth in agriculture and medicine • Provides insights that could be useful for developing new biotechnology applications • Helps explain how fungi spread and colonize new environments • Could contribute to developing better antifungal treatments
