White-rotting fungus with clamp-connections in a coniferous wood from the Lower Cretaceous of Heilongjiang Province, NE China
Fossil fungi are very important components for shaping the paleoecosystem, but they are rarely documented in the geological record. Here we report a well-preserved fossil mycelium consisting of clamp-bearing septate hyphae in a petrified coniferous wood (Cupressinoxylon baomiqiaoense Zheng et Zhang)...

The fungal hyphae, with a diameter of ca. 2.5 mu m, are tubular in shape with septa and clamp-connections.
