Quantifying fungal growth in 3D: an ergosterol-based method to distinguish growth modes
Mycelial colonization on solid substrates progresses through three-dimensional growth: surface extension, network densification, and penetration into the substrate. In a model system we discuss the competition between surface expansion and biomass accumulation driven by substrate composition.
