Short Answer:

The fruiting body or fruit body in fungi is called the sporocarp.

Details:

When most people see a sporocarp they call this a mushroom, but this fleshy fruiting body is only the visible part of the living organism that is popular for eating. The fruiting body only develops as part of the asexual phase of the fungal life cycle for spore production. To get more specific about the body parts of a mushroom, the fruiting body of the most common mushrooms have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae).

Indeed, since we are getting technical about it, there are two kinds of sporocarp that most people recognize.

The typical toadstool mushroom is a basidiomycete and the sporocarp is a basidiocarp or basidiome.

Both the popular morel mushroom and the truffle are of the type known as an ascomycete and the fruiting body is an ascocarp.

In Agaricus the fruiting body is made up of?

In Agaricus, the fruiting body, commonly known as the mushroom, is primarily composed of a stalk (stipe), cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae) located underneath the cap. The gills contain the spore-producing structures called basidia, where spores are formed and released for reproduction. The fruiting body is largely made of a network of hyphae, which are the filamentous structures of the fungus. This structure allows the fungus to efficiently reproduce and disperse its spores into the environment.

What does the fruiting body form from underground?

The fruiting body forms from the mycelium that grows underground. The mycelium is the vegetative part of the fungus that absorbs nutrients and serves as the main body of the fungus. When conditions are right, the mycelium can produce a fruiting body above ground to release spores for reproduction.
