Mycelial cords are linear aggregations of parallel-oriented hyphae. The mature cords are composed of wide, empty vessel hyphae surrounded by narrower sheathing hyphae. Cords may look similar to plant roots, and also frequently have similar functions; hence they are also called rhizomorphs. As well as growing underground or on the surface of trees and other plants, some fungi make mycelial cords which hang in the air from vegetation.
Mycocentrospora acerina is a deuteromycete fungus that is a plant pathogen.
Penicillium echinulatum is a mold species in the genus Penicillium. It is a source of cellulase.
Cryptostroma corticale is a species of fungus that causes sooty bark disease of maples, particularly sycamore. The spores grow profusely under the bark of affected trees or stacked logs. The fungus causes disease and death in trees, and the spores are allergenic and cause a debilitating pneumonitis in humans.
