The adaptive advantage associated with the filamentous nature of fungal mycelia is primarily related to an extensive surface area well suited for invasive growth and absorptive nutrition.
<h3>What is a mycelium?</h3>
A mycelium is a network of fungal threads or hyphae.
Mycelia often grow underground but can also thrive in other places such as rotting tree trunks.
A single spore can develop into a mycelium. The fruiting bodies of fungi, such as mushrooms, can sprout from a mycelium.
Mycelia are of vital importance to the soil. They break down organic material, making its raw materials available again for use in the ecosystem.
On top of this, 92% of plant families interact with fungi. This kind of symbiosis is termed mycorrhiza.
Hyphae are also an important source of food for insects and other invertebrates.
