Mycelium

45.

The picture above displays mycelium, which is the vegetative part of fungus. A single spore germinates into a homokaryotic mycelium, which cannot reproduce sexually. When two compatible homokaryotic mycelia join and form a dikaryotic mycelium, that mycelium may form fruiting bodies such as mushrooms.
