All fungi are made of eukaryotic cells, which have nuclei. Some fungi are single celled, but most fungi are made of many cells. These many-celled fungi are made up of chains of cells called hyphae (HIE fee). Hyphae (singular, hypha) are threadlike fungal filaments. These filaments are made of cells that have openings in their cell walls. These openings allow cytoplasm to move freely between the cells.
Most of the hyphae that make up a fungus grow together to form a twisted mass called the mycelium (mie SEE lee uhm). The mycelium makes up the major part of the fungus. However, this mass is hidden from view underneath the ground.
Shortened answer:
Hyphae.
Tubes in fungi, also known as hyphae, are thin, thread-like structures that make up the body of the fungus. They allow for the absorption of nutrients and provide structural support for the organism. Hyphae can grow and branch out to form a network called mycelium, which is the main feeding structure of the fungus.
No, fungi do not need sunlight to grow. They obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter, such as dead plants or animals, through a process called decomposition. Fungi can grow in dark and damp environments.
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
fungi actually live in or on living organisms. They are also called saprophytes
No, a mushroom is not a mold. Mushrooms are a type of fungus that typically grow above ground, while molds are a type of fungus that grow in a fuzzy mass on surfaces like food or walls. Both mushrooms and mold are types of fungi, but they have different structures and growth habits.
The threadlike tubes composing the body of fungi are called hyphae. Hyphae are tubular structures that make up the mycelium of fungi and are responsible for nutrient absorption and growth. They can be septate (with crosswalls) or aseptate (without crosswalls).
Mycelium is the threadlike structure found in fungi that grows into the food source. It consists of a network of tiny, branching threads called hyphae that help the fungi absorb nutrients from their environment.

Dimorphic fungi
The threadlike part of a plant is called a root hair. Root hairs are small, finger-like extensions that grow from the roots and help the plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Fungi can grow anywhere as long as moisture is present.
Yes, yeast can reproduce asexually through a process called budding, where a smaller cell (bud) forms on the parent cell. This method of reproduction is different from threadlike fungi, such as molds, which often reproduce asexually through the production of spores.
