  abstract     = {{How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ betweengroups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decom-position and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia:What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi’s contribu-tion to carbon sequestration?<br/>In this study, we compared microscale persistence of fungal hyphae using microfluidic chiptechnology and visual quantification of hyphal degradation and turnover across six differentwood-decay Basidiomycete species. Measured traits included hyphal extension, coverage,turnover rates, and changes in hyphal morphology over time when supplied with two carbonsources of differing recalcitrance.<br/>Species clustered into two groups: one with a frugal nutrient strategy (high turnover capa-city, active persistence of cytoplasmic hyphae) and one with a wasteful strategy (low turnoverof hyphae and large remnants of skeletonized hyphae). Differences matched the ephemeralor long-lasting nature of their fruiting bodies and the substrates they inhabit. Carbon type alsoinfluenced hyphal persistence over time.<br/>Our results suggest that hyphal turnover has a genetic basis linked to species ecology yet isalso shaped by environmental factors such as carbon availability, highlighting the dynamicnature of fungal mycelia}},
