Mycelium

Mycelium is the name given to the sexual hyphae of fungi, which can have a variety of appearances and shapes. Since it is not an independent organism, it is considered as a state or stage of the life cycle of fungi. Mushrooms use mycelium to form filamentous plexuses called fungi (mycelium, mycoloid). The mycelium is a common structure of all fungi in the plant body or soil. It is important for every type of organism that uses such a compound. The most important function of this composition is nutrition. Moreover, it can exist without such components as organisms. Fruiting bodies are formed directly from the mycelium, but they are specialized organs of sexual reproduction and nutrition. These organs enable fungi to grow, disperse, synthesize vitamins, and participate in metabolism. With the help of the mycelial system, reactions occur that contribute to either food production or growth. Thanks to this component, the mushroom receives nutrients, water, air and other necessary substances. The classification of mycelial organisms depends on their
