This book describes our package of interactive computer models that simulate the way filamentous fungal hyphae grow in three-dimensional space. We call it the Neighbour-Sensing mathematical model of hyphal growth. This three-dimensional mathematical model of hyphal growth was developed to study the morphogenesis of fungal hyphal networks. The apps that make up the modelling program allow the user to change the intimate characteristics of the growing cyberfungus. Aspects like the amount of branching,angle of branching and whether cyberhyphal threads stay together or grow apart (among several other features) can all be changed to establish their effect on the way the simulated cyberhyphae grow. So,the programs provide the user with a way to experiment with virtual fungi ‘growing’ in his/her computing device. It is the ultimate,most controllable,and most life-like cyberfungus you can have on your own computer; it is an experimental tool,not a game or a painting program. It provides the scientist in YOU with a way of experimenting with features that may regulate hyphal growth patterns to arrive at suggestions that could be tested with live fungi.
The Neighbour-Sensing model explains how various cyberfungal structures may arise because of the ‘crowd behaviour’ of the community of cyberhyphal tips that make up the cybermycelium. And it does this by demonstrating the behaviour on your computer monitor. We show you how you can make the programs generate structures that mimic all sorts of fungal fruiting structures: conidiophores,sclerotia,the open more-or-less saucer-shaped or cup-like apothecia of discomycete Ascomycota,closed cleistothecial ascoma or hypogeous fruit bodies of the truffles and their allies,the perithecial flask-shaped or bottle-like ascomata of pyrenomycete Ascomycota,as well as different sorts of mushroom-like fruit bodies characteristic of the Basidiomycota. The whole Kingdom is open to you for experimentation!
In these pages,we present a complete outline of the science and mathematics that underpin the Neighbour-Sensing model of cyberhyphal growth and show a wide range of experiments done with the model. More than this,we show you how to download the freeware programs to your own computer,and provide all the documentation you will need to experience the program and carry out experiments with cyberfungi for yourself.

本书描述了我们的交互式计算机模型包，模拟丝状真菌菌丝在三维空间中生长的方式。我们称之为邻苯二甲酸生长的数学模型。开发了菌丝生长的三维数学模型，以研究真菌菌丝网络的形态发生。构建建模程序的应用程序允许用户改变日益增长的网络真菌的亲密特征。分支的数量，分支角度以及网络螺旋线是否保持在一起或分开（在其他几个特征之间）的方面都可以改变，以确定它们对模拟网络生长的方式的影响。因此，这些程序为用户提供了一种在他/她的计算设备中实验虚拟真菌“成长”的方法。它是您自己的计算机上可以拥有的终极，最可控，最生活的网络真菌;它是一个实验工具，而不是游戏或绘画程序。它为您的科学家提供了一种实验可能调节菌丝生长模式的功能的方法，以获得可以用活菌进行测试的建议。
邻居感知模型解释了各种网络真菌结构如何可能出现，因为构成网络蠕虫的网络幽灵技术社区的“人群行为”。并通过演示您的计算机显示器上的行为来实现。我们向您展示如何使程序产生模拟各种真菌结实结构的结构: 分生孢子菌，菌核，开放的多或少的碟形或杯状apothecia的子囊菌子囊菌，封闭的清洁组织的微生物或次要的果实体松露和它们的盟友，痢疾杆菌子囊菌的perithecial瓶形或瓶状菌门，以及担子菌纲特有的不同种类的蘑菇状果实体。全国开放给您进行实验！
在这些页面中，我们提供了一个完整的科学和数学概要，它支撑了网络虚拟增长的邻近感知模型，并展示了该模型的广泛实验。不仅如此，我们向您展示如何将免费软件程序下载到您自己的计算机上，并提供您需要体验程序的所有文档，并为您自己进行网络虚拟实验。
