Molds form branches that are like thin threads called hyphae.

的分枝像细细的线，它们被称作丝。

In a single pinch of dirt, these hyphae, when lined up, can extend 11 km!

在一小撮土里，这些丝如排成一排能够延伸 11 公里。

The researchers who conducted this study knew that soil fungi whose hyphae are symbiotic with tomatoes (providing them with minerals in exchange for food) also form a network connecting one plant to another.

土壤中的真丝与番茄属共生关系，真向番茄提供矿物质，作为交换，番茄则向真供给“食物”。而实验研究者们同样早就清楚地知道，真丝还在植物之间构建起了网络。

Two plants were surrounded with a 40-micron mesh.This can be penetrated by hyphae but not by roots.

另两株植物则被直径40微米的筛孔环绕，这种尺寸下，蚕豆根无法穿，真却可以渗透而。

They also extend hair-like filaments called hyphae into the soil which pump water even more efficiently than the tree's own roots.

它们还将像头发一样叫做称为丝的细丝延伸到土壤中，它比树木自身的根部吸水效率更高。

That means that the sugars flow from the tree roots into the fungal hyphae.

这意味着糖分从树根流入真丝。

For Dr Johnson believes he has shown that just such an internet, with fungal hyphae standing in for local Wi-Fi, alerts beanstalks to danger if one of their neighbours is attacked by aphids.

约翰逊博士认为，他已经很明白地展示出，正是这样一个地下网络，凭借真丝所起到的局部无线网络（Wi-Fi）作用，在邻近植物遭蚜虫进犯时，可以向其它豆茎发出警报，警惕邻近的危险。

Then, four days from the end, one of the 40-micron meshes in each mesocosm was rotated to sever any hyphae that had penetrated it, and the central plant was then infested with aphids.

到了实验结束前四天，研究员在每个生态系统中都旋转了一个40微米网筛，切断了所有穿筛孔的真丝，不久位于中央的那株蚕豆就受到了大批蚜虫的侵扰。

Once the sugars enter the fungus, they travel along the hyphae through pores between cells or through special hollow transporter hyphae.

糖类进入真后，它们通细胞间的孔隙或特殊的中空转运体丝沿丝传播。

Gaps that size are too small for either roots or hyphae to penetrate, but they do permit the passage of water and dissolved chemicals.

蚕豆根或者丝都无法穿，而只有水和可溶性化物质能够透。

The spores grow thin tendrils called hyphae that allow them to digest wood.

孢子生长出细长的丝，这些丝使它们能够消化木材。

Previous research has suggested that fungi conduct electrical impulses through long, underground filamentous structures called hyphae – similar to how nerve cells transmit information in humans.

先前的研究表明， 真通称为丝的长地下丝状结构传导电脉冲—— 类似于类神经细胞传递信息的方式。

A handful of soil has several thousands worm individuals and other kinds of creatures and thousands and millions of bacteria and kilometers of fungal hyphae.

一把土壤中包含着数千条蠕虫个体及其他种类的生物，还有成千上万的细和数公里的真丝。

Those hair-things are actually bundles of nutrient-absorbing tendrils -- called hyphae -- from fungi living symbiotically with the plant.

那些像头发的东西实际上是与植物共生的真吸收养分的触手状结构——称为丝。

The strange food covered with white hypha is actually tofu.

这些附着着白色丝的奇特食物它们的实质是豆腐。

But candida also exists as a filamentous mold with its little hyphae or sometimes pseudohyphae branching out.

但念珠同样以丝状的形式存在，其细小的丝或有时是假丝会分叉延伸。

They multiply and metamorphose— substituting their rounded structures for elongated thread-like forms called hyphae.

它们繁殖和变形——用它们的圆形结构代替称为丝的细长线状形式。

So Hueber examined them under the microscope and found long, tube-shaped cells that were similar to the hyphae found in modern fungi.

于是胡伯在显微镜下检查了它们，发现了一些长管状的细胞， 这些细胞与现代真中的丝相似。

The white thin hair is the hypha of mucor, which gives tofu a new vitality.

白色的细丝是毛的丝是它们赋予豆腐新的活力。

He did this by inserting tiny microelectrodes into substrates colonised by their patchwork of hyphae threads, their mycelia.

为此，他将微小的微电极插入由丝丝拼凑而成的基质中，即丝体。
