Life Cycle of Mushroom
Description
Graphical Abstract of Mushroom Life Cycle and Its Timeline
Mushrooms begin as spores that grow into mycelium, a network of thread-like structures that break down organic matter. The fruiting body, which contains the reproductive structures, is formed as the mycelium matures. Mycelium can remain active for up to 95% of the organism's life cycle, while the fruiting body makes up less than 5%.
