Where is main part of a mushroom's organism?

When we see a mushroom or toadstool growing somewhere, what we are looking at is the "fruiting or spore producing body" that the organism (called a fungus) produces in order to reproduce itself.The main part of the fungus is not usually visible be is present in the soil or tree trunk beneath the fruiting body as a mat or net of fine threads called a mycelium. The long, branching filamentous structures of the mycelium are called hyphae and these are frequently in symbiosis with the roots of plants.The mycelium is the main part of a fungus and may extend for hundreds of meters underground.Looking at the fruiting body, the top of a mushroom is called the cap and then there are the gills or pits under the cap from which the fungus produces spores. A stem sticks out of the cap and has hyphae inside. Theses hyphae join with those present underground.
