A mass of hyphae is called:
Correct answer: C. Mycelium
- A. Trichome
- B. Filament
- C. Mycelium
- D. Mushroom
Explanation
The correct answer is Mycelium. Mycelium refers to the network of hyphae that forms the main vegetative growth of a fungus. It is essential for nutrient absorption and can be found within the substrate or soil. Trichome refers to a plant structure and is unrelated to fungi. Filament is a general term for a thread-like structure but does not specifically describe a mass of fungal hyphae. Mushroom is the fruiting body of some fungi, which arises from the mycelium, but it is not the mycelium itself.
