hypha A single filament of a fungus.
hypocotyl The first leaf-like structure that appears on a germinating seed. Grows upward in response to light.
Hyphantria cunea attack many kinds of deciduous trees, shrubs and vines. Pecan trees are a favorite target in my home state of Alabama.
Cadavers of larvae killed by these fungi appear wooden and often possess hornlike hyphal structures from which spores are released.
The bodies of the fungi, called hyphae, live on or in the tissues of plants, and make nutrients available for the plants to absorb. The plants provide the fungi with amino acids and other complex compounds.
Hyphae, small threadlike structures, grow from the fungi into the coating and wood substrate, essentially opening the substrate and making it more porous, thus prone to moisture.

Good garden soil is full of life
One teaspoon of good garden soil can contain up to one billion bacteria, several yards of fungal hyphae (fungal feeder roots), thousands of protozoa and dozens of nematodes and arthropods.
The affected leaves often remain matted together by the fungus´s web-like growth (hyphae) that holds the brown leaves within the canopy. As the temperature cools in the fall, the fungus stops growing and the matted leaves drop from the plant.
The fungi colonize plant roots and, in effect, quickly create masses of new "fungus roots" that dramatically increase the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients and fight off disease. Fine strands called hyphae penetrate soil particles that ...
