Summary Introduction
To determine: The adaptive benefit of filamentous nature of fungal mycelia.
Introduction: The species of fungi grow as filaments and as yeasts, but majority of the species grow as filaments and few grow as yeasts. The bodies of these fungi form a filamentous structure, called hyphae. The hyphae forms an “interwoven mass”, called as mycelium, which pierces the material on which the
