Fungi are sessile, highly sensitive organisms that actively compete
for environmental resources both above and below the ground. They
assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for
particular goals, and then realise the optimum variant. They take
measures to control certain environmental resources. They perceive
themselves and can distinguish between 'self' and 'non-self'. They
process and evaluate information and then modify their behaviour
accordingly. These highly diverse competences show us that this is
possible owing to sign(aling)-mediated communication processes
within fungal cells (intraorganismic), between the same, related
and different fungal species (interorganismic), and between fungi
and non-fungal organisms (transorganismic). Intraorganismic
communication involves sign-mediated interactions within cells
(intracellular) and between cells (intercellular). This is crucial
in coordinating growth and development, shape and dynamics. Such
communication must function both on the local level and between
widely separated mycelium parts. This allows fungi to coordinate
appropriate response behaviors in a differentiated manner to their
current developmental status and physiological influences.
