Detailed explanation-1: -The fruiting bodies of fungi contain spores, which are dispersed for reproduction. Mushrooms are a familiar example of a fruiting body. They are formed from hyphae, the tiny threads that make up the bulk of most fungi. A network of hyphae, known as a mycelium, extends in all directions through the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Spores are released from the fungus fruit body by wind, rain and sometimes with the help of animals! When spores land on a suitable surface they grow (germinate) to make the fine threads called hyphae which eventually overlap to form mycelium.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fruiting bodies come in many shapes, sizes, and colours and contain the fungal organism’s reproductive structure. Its main purpose is to reproduce and help spread spores of a fungus so that they can colonize elsewhere and continue growing.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the types of fruiting bodies described in the TYPES OF FUNGI section are produced by basidiomycetes.
