Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The statement that is NOT true of fungi is c) Each of the filaments on the body is a mycelium. Rather, each of the filaments of the body of the fungus is a hyphae, and the mass of the hyphae makes up the mycelium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi can be single celled or very complex multicellular organisms. They are found in just about any habitat but most live on the land, mainly in soil or on plant material rather than in sea or fresh water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi are a kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophs (cannot make their own food and rely on other sources) and play key roles in nutrient recycling in an ecosystem. They are also called eukaryotic fungi. Fungi include microorganisms like yeasts, molds, and mushrooms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kingdom Fungi (the true fungi) is a monophyletic group of eukaryotic heterotrophs that reproduce with spores and have chitinous cell walls. The most familiar fungi are kitchen molds and mushrooms. The kingdom may include 1.5 million species, of which about 80, 000 species have been named and described.
