✦ Synopsis

Image analysis methods are described which calculate and display the structure of a fungal mycelium growu on Cellophane. The basic network is found by identifying nodes and the sections joining them. Lengths, widths and volumes of hyphae are displayed in graphical form to show variation over the mycelium The variation of fractal dimension shows the relative importance of &ding/foraging. These approaches can be applied to the analysis of networks other than mycelial.
