What do hyphae digest nutrients into
    #6072633 - 09/17/06 11:34 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I've been curious - the more I read about how fungi attain nutrition, the more I wonder how we can help "coax" things along. From what I've read, I know that fungi are heterotrophic, and the hyphae digest nutrients around them as they grow to be taken in through their strands.

What exactly do they digest the nutrients into? I can only guess that if you were to supply the developing fungus with these nutrients in a pre-digested form, it could greatly speed up their uptake and result in an explosive boom of growth (similar to the gone today here tomorrow effect that rain can have on mushies in the wild).

What do you all think?

They turn them into pretty much the same things as we do -digest into aminos, fats and sugars, which they turn into DNA, proteins, membranes, chiton etc.

There are often specific agar recipes for the particular fungus you want to grow. There's a massive book by a guy named Atlas that has thousands of bacteria and fungi listed with their favourite mediums. :grin:

another good way to understand how the hyphae digests its nutrients is by knowing where it grows, for example if you know it gets its nutrients from a dead tree and you observe where the hyphae is on a microscope you can therefor make it easy to look for your self, but they do turn their nutrients like us humans but they preserve it until they are given the sign to leave the current stage into a fruiting stage.

If only we could speed up the rate that strands could uptake nutrients, we could have true hydroponic mushrooms, feeding them a constant flow of 'pre digested' simple nutrients...keep the nutrient flowing, keep the mushrooms growing, flushes wouldnt stop till you stop the nutrient flow.. How to get the myc to fruit when it still sees tons of nutrients around, who knows.

I remember a few smilies being passed my way when I mentioned mushroom hydroponics. We already have mushroom hydroponics, but it's called submerged culutre, or liquid culture by shroomites. And it's the reason we have things like Penicillin. A gigantic quantity of pharmaceuticals are made using submerged cultures in bioreactors.

It's just much, much easier to fruit cakes at home.

To the original question, the way in which mushrooms break down food is one of the most incredible things about them. When you read into it, you discover how under appreciated mushrooms are in the whole circle of life and how they sit directly between plants and animals, interfacing the two. In some sense, they're like plants, in others they're like us. They break most of what they land on down into things like simple carbohydrates and sugars.

It's tempting to try feeding them raw sugar to skip the digestion process. It also doesn't work. That way at least.
