Mycelium
(Science: microbiology) mass of hyphae that constitutes the vegetative part of a fungus (the conspicuous part in most cases is the fruiting body of fungi).

Mycelium, Mycelia (pl.): A mass of interwoven filamentous 'threads' that make up the vegetative part of a fungus.
Native (insect or plant): Of local origin, not intentionally or accidentally introduced.

mycelium
(my-seel-ee-um) [Gk. mykes, fungus]
The densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus.
mycorrhizae ...

mycelium The mass of interwoven filaments of hyphae in a fungus.
mycorrhiza Occurs when a fungus (basidiomycete or zygomycete) weaves around or into a plant's roots and forms a symbiotic relationship.

mycelium (plural: mycelia). The vegetative body of a fungus, consisting of a mass of slender filaments called hyphae.

mycelium
The densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus.
myelin
a sheath of fatty substance associated with protein that surrounds larger nerve fibers of vertebrates.

mycelium A network of fungal hyphae.
mycetome Specialized organ in some insects that bears mutualistic bacteria.
mycobiont The fungal partner in a mutualistic relationship such as mycorrhizae or lichens.

A single mycelium may expand outward year after year as its hyphae grow into new terrain. In some species, mushrooms are sent up once a year at the periphery producing a circle known since medieval times as a "fairy ring".

Compatible haploid hyphae fuse to produce a dikaryotic mycelium. However, the dikaryotic phase is more extensive in the basidiomycetes, in many cases also present in the vegetatively growing mycelium.

hypha -- n.Threadlike filaments that form the mycelium (body) of a fungus; hyphae- pl.
inflorescence -- A cluster of flowers.
internode -- The region of a stem between two nodes, when there is no branching of the vascular tissue.

fungicide - chemical or physical agent that kills or inhibits development of fungus spores or mycelium (or when used in a broad sense bacteria).
