Hyphae perform a variety of functions in fungi. They contain the cytoplasm or cell sap, including the nuclei containing genetic material. Hyphae absorb nutrients from the environment and transport them to other parts of the thallus (fungus body)

Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae. An interwoven mass of hyphae is called a mycelium.The walls of hyphae are often strengthened with chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine. ...Fungi disperse themselves by releasing spores, usually windblown. ...Fungi are heterotrophic

In botany a stolon—also called a runner—is a slender stem that grows horizontally along the ground, giving rise to roots and aerial (vertical) branches at specialized points called nodes. ... Fungi spread by means of horizontal filaments (hyphae) that are also called stolons.

Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. The mass of hyphae is sometimes called shiro, especially within the fairy ring fungi. ... Through themycelium, a fungus absorbs nutrients from its environment.

A gametangium (plural: gametangia) is an organ or cell in which gametes are produced that is found in many multicellular protists, algae, fungi, and the gametophytes of plants. In contrast to gametogenesis in animals, a gametangium is a haploid structure and formation of gametes does not involve meiosis.
