The hidden world of wood-decaying fungi

Research output: Working paper/discussion paperWeb articlePopularizing

Abstract

Of all the components of dead plants, wood is the hardest to break down. Why is it that fungi know how to do this? What issues did they need to solve to achieve this? The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) tries to find answers to these questions. The discoveries could be useful for sustainable forest and nature management, sustainable agriculture, and the development of new medicines.
