Question
in what respect is a mycelium and a fruiting body similar?
both are made of hyphae.
both are found above the ground.
both produce reproductive spores.
both absorb nutrients underground.
The mycelium is a network of thread-like structures called hyphae, typically underground, that absorbs nutrients. The fruiting body (like a mushroom cap) is the above-ground reproductive structure of a fungus, which is also composed of tightly packed hyphae. Fruiting bodies produce spores, while mycelium does not; mycelium absorbs nutrients underground, but fruiting bodies are above ground. Thus, their shared feature is being made of hyphae.
