- The vegetative part of a fungus consisting of a mass of branching threadlike hyphae
- (Mycelia) Filaments in fungi specialized for absorption of nutrients.
- The vegetative hypha of a fungus. In some parasitic flowering plants such as Rafflesiaceae, the endophytes are reduced to such an extent as to resemble fungal mycelia.
- The mass of interwoven filaments of hyphae in a fungus.
- The filamentous vegetative portion of a fungus, specifically excluding the fruiting structure or reproductive phase of the life cycle. The mycelium may be invisible or conspicuous. In some cases mycelial strands may join to form thick strands called rhizomorphs.
- The body of a fungus, composed of many threads of tissue. Mushrooms do not reproduce by seed, but by spores. The spores germinate to produce threadlike structures known as hyphae. Collectively, a mass of hyphae are known as the mycelium.
- (more than one = mycelia) The thread-like body of a fungus. Most people think of mushrooms when they think of fungi, but mushrooms are just a part of the organism. Mushrooms "bloom" much like flowers do at certain times of the year. The actual main part of the fungus is the mycelia.
- The thallus, or vegetative body of a fungus; an aggregate of many filaments (hyphae) commonly interwoven into a more or less felt-like mass.
- A mass of hyphae, often used to denote all hyphae comprising a thallus. (Pl. mycelia.) (15)
