Each fungus will have vast numbers of these hyphae, all intertwining to make up a tangled web called the mycelium. The mycelium is generally too fine to be seen by the naked eye, except where the hyphae are very closely packed together. The picture on the left was taken through a microscope.
Parts of a fungus Edit. The main body of a fungus is called a mycelium-this is made of many threads (hyphae). These grow through whatever the fungus is feeding on, or alternatively through the soil.Each hypae is surrounded by a cell wall made of chitin (usually-some have other substances in the cell walls).Sometimes, fungi grow a 'mushroom' above the ground-this is for reproduction, done by producing thousands of tiny spores.ach hypae is surrounded by a cell wall made of chitin (usually-some have other substances in the cell walls).
