Fungi are capable of a variety of behaviors. 〔Dusenbery, David B. (1996). “Life at Small Scale”. Scientific American Library, New York. ISBN 0-7167-5060-0.〕 Nearly all secrete chemicals, and some of these chemicals act as pheromones to communicate with other individuals. Many of the most dramatic examples involve mechanisms to get fungal spores dispersed to new environments. In mushrooms, spores are propelled into the air space between the gills, where they are free to fall down and can then be carried by air currents. Other fungi shoot spores aimed at openings in their surroundings, sometimes reaching distances over a meter.〔Dusenbery, David B. (1996). “Life at Small Scale”, pp.56-59. Scientific American Library, New York. ISBN 0-7167-5060-0.〕 Fungi such as Phycomyces blakesleeanus employ a variety of sensory mechanisms to avoid obstacles as their fruiting body grows, growing against gravity, toward light (even on the darkest night), into wind, and away from physical obstacles (probably using a mechanism of chemical sounding). 〔Dusenbery, David B. (1996). “Life at Small Scale”, pp. 82-84. Scientific American Library, New York. ISBN 0-7167-5060-0.〕 Other fungi form constricting rings or adhesive knobs that trap nematodes, which the fungus then digests. 〔Dusenbery, David B. (1996). “Life at Small Scale”, pp.115-118. Scientific American Library, New York. ISBN 0-7167-5060-0.〕 One hormone that is used by many fungi is Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fungal behavior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
