Modelling fungal colonies and communities: challenges and opportunities by R.E. Falconer, J.L. Bown, E. McAdam, P. Perez-Reche, A.T. Sampson, J. van den Bulcke, N.A. White

“…We outline some of the essential components necessary to develop a fungal ecology: a mechanistic model of fungal colony growth and interactions, where observed behaviour can be linked to underlying function; a model of how fungi can cooperate at larger scales; and novel techniques for both exploring quantitatively the scales at which fungi operate; and addressing the computational challenges arising from this highly detailed quantification. We also propose a novel application area for fungi which may provide alternate routes for supporting scientific study of colony behaviour. …”
