Descripción: The end of the rhizomorphs (cord-like threats of mycelium) formed by the basidiomycete Armillaria, which seem a spinning wheel weaving the mycelium of the fungus. This plant pathogen is able to develop a complex branched network of rhizomorphs, spreading through the soils from the roots of infected trees to adjacent healthy trees.
