Fitted parameters for basic model (data sets 2B to 2F)

Symbol	Parameter	Estimate	90% CIa
SS	Sum of squares statistic (20 degrees of freedom)	51	<65
μ	Substrate mycelial basic growth rate	3.0 day−1	2.8–3.3
K	Vegetative capacity	4.5 × 106 CFU g−1	2.8–6.8 (×106)
k	Rate of differentiation of germlings to substrate mycelia	1.1 day−1	0.65–1.6
Pd	Success probability of germling differentiation	0.0083	0.0025–0.019
b	Burst size	300	>150
β+b	Adsorption rate of phage to mycelia	β+K = 99 day−1	23–440
β−c	Rate of release of phage from mycelia	β−/β+K = 0.033	0.019–0.052
l	Infection rate (rate of adsorbed phage entering host)	1.9 day−1	0.66–16
ωG	Rate germlings become resistant to phage attack	1.3 day−1	0.6–6.2
ωT	Rate mature mycelia become resistant to phage attack		>29 day−1

^aCI, confidence interval. 

^bThe rate β₊K is estimated normalizing adsorption to a mycelial mat at density K. 

^cThe ratio β₋/(β₊K) is estimated since this determines the equilibrium state.
