What is the name of this type of root in some fungi?
Mycelium
Rhizomorph
Mycorrhiza
Thallus
Rhizomorph also called Mycelial cords are capable of conducting nutrients over long distances. For instance, they can transfer nutrients to a developing fruiting body, or enable wood-rotting fungi to grow through soil from an established food base in search of new food sources. For parasitic fungi, they can help spread infection by growing from established clusters to uninfected parts. The cords of some wood-rotting fungi may be capable of penetrating masonry.
