Needle fiber calcite (NFC) is an ubiquitous terrestrial secondary calcium carbonate mineral often associated with calcitic nanofibers. NFC's origin has been debated for a long time and a fungal origin is often proposed. Fungi are known to be involved in mineral weathering and production of metal oxalate, but little information exists regarding the genesis of other minerals, such as calcite. In this study, a comparison of similar ultrastructural characteristics of fungal hyphae and NFC has been performed to highlight analogies between both features. These analogies clearly demonstrate the probable close relationship between fungal filaments (hyphae and rhizomorphs) and NFC and its associated nanofibers.
