sienikasvun
Sienikasvun refers to the process of fungal growth. Fungi, a distinct kingdom of life, reproduce and expand through various mechanisms, including spore germination, hyphal extension, and budding. Spores are microscopic reproductive units that can be dispersed by wind, water, or animals. When a spore lands in a suitable environment with adequate moisture, temperature, and nutrients, it germinates and develops into a hypha, a thread-like filament. These hyphae branch and intertwine to form a mycelium, the vegetative body of the fungus, which often grows unseen within soil, wood, or other substrates.
Hyphal extension is the primary way mycelium grows, with new cells forming at the tips of the
