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

Many fungal infections of humans are considered to be opportunistic, meaning that fungi that are normally free-living (usually in soil) can sometimes survive, and even thrive, on or inside the human body. From the fungal “point of view,” what unique challenges would be encountered when trying to survive on human skin? What about inside human lungs?
The most important adaptive advantage associated with thefilamentous nature of fungal mycelia is(A) the ability to form haustoria and parasitize other organisms.(B) the potential to inhabit almost all terrestrial habitats.(C) the increased chance of contact between mating types.(D) an extensive surface area well suited for invasive growthand absorptive nutrition.
What is the difference in food intake in fungus and animals?
