Only in this way can the hypha be preserved.

只有这样。菌丝才不破坏。

Molds form branches that are like thin threads called hyphae.

霉菌的分枝像细细的线，它作菌丝。

These fungi have countless branching, thread-like hyphae that together make up the mycelium.

这些真菌有无数的分枝，线状菌丝共同构成了菌丝体。

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

在一小撮土里，这些菌丝如果排成一排能够延伸 11 公里。

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菌菌丝。

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

另株植物则直径40微米的筛孔环绕，这种尺寸下，蚕豆根无法穿过，真菌却可以渗透而过。

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

它还将像头发一样叫做为菌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。

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

蚕豆根或者菌丝都无法穿过，而只有水和可溶性化物质能够透过。

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

糖类进入真菌后，它通过细胞间的孔隙或特殊的中空转运体菌丝沿菌丝传播。

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，凭借真菌菌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。

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.

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

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，切断了所有穿过筛孔的真菌菌丝，不久位于中央的那株蚕豆就受到了大批蚜虫的侵扰。
