Mushroom spore dispersal by convectively-driven winds
Emilie Dressaire, Lisa Yamada, Boya Song +1
Thousands of fungal species rely on mushroom spores to spread across landscapes. It has long been thought that spores depend on favorable airflows for dispersal -- that active cont…
Drop impact on a flexible fiber
Emilie Dressaire, Alban Sauret, François Boulogne +1
When droplets impact fibrous media, the liquid can be captured by the fibers or contact then break away. Previous studies have shown that the efficiency of drop capture by a rigid…
Defining individual size in the model filamentous fungus
Linda Ma, Boya Song, Thomas Curran +3
It is challenging to apply the tenets of individuality to filamentous fungi: a fungal mycelium can contain millions of genetically diverse but totipotent nuclei, each capable of fo…
Wetting morphologies on randomly oriented fibers
Alban Sauret, François Boulogne, Beatrice Soh +2
We characterize the different morphologies adopted by a drop of liquid placed on two randomly oriented fibers, which is a first step toward understanding the wetting of fibrous net…
Wetting morphologies on an array of fibers of different radii
Alban Sauret, François Boulogne, David Cébron +2
We investigate the equilibrium morphology of a finite volume of liquid placed on two parallel rigid fibers of different radii. As observed for identical radii fibers, the liquid is…
Mechanical tuning of the evaporation rate of liquid on crossed fibers
François Boulogne, Alban Sauret, Beatrice Soh +2
We investigate experimentally the drying of a small volume of perfectly wetting liquid on two crossed fibers. We characterize the drying dynamics for the three liquid morphologies…
