Self/Non-self Recognition: Microbes Playing Hard to Get
Fungi can fuse with other individuals to enable cooperative growth, although this process is restricted by certain self/non-self recognition systems.

Summary: | Fungi can fuse with other individuals to enable cooperative growth, although this process is restricted by certain self/non-self recognition systems. A novel layer of compatibility has now been discovered, acting at the stage of germling cell wall fusion, showing the remarkable complexity of allorecognition in fungi.
