Abstract
⺠We model mushroom morphology and cavity formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. ⺠Disparity in stiffness between cap and stalk may be responsible for mushroom morphology. ⺠Simple nutrient starvation or signal accumulation is unlikely causes of cavities. ⺠Iron starvation is a plausible cause for cavity formation.
