It sprouts a mushroom stem and cap only to produce spores out of the gills under the cap.
The cap and the stem.
The most commonly recognized umbrella-shaped fungus is the mushroom. Mushrooms have a cap (the umbrella part) and a stalk that holds them above the ground. This shape helps with spore dispersal and ensures that the mushroom is visible to insects for pollination.
fruiting body
yes
pileus-fruit body
The fruiting body of a club fungus, known as the mushroom, grows above the ground. It is responsible for producing and dispersing spores for reproduction.
The mushroom that you see above ground is the fruiting ( flowering and spore bearing ) body of a fungus that lives under ground. Mushroom normally refers to the edible varieties, while toadstool refers to the poisonous or inedible ones.
Both mushrooms and icebergs are larger below the surface than what is visible above. Just as most of the iceberg is hidden underwater, most of the mushroom's structure and network of mycelium is hidden beneath the ground. Additionally, both mushrooms and icebergs can have a significant impact on the ecosystem in which they exist.
The reproductive structure that grows above the ground in fungi is called a mushroom. Mushrooms produce spores that are dispersed into the environment to reproduce.
Spores which are in mushrooms fall out of gills in the mushroom.(the lines i on the underside of the mushrooms top).Those spores land on the ground and can stay their for years until the right amount of debris and water are supplied.These spores are called dormant until they are ready to produce a mushroom.
The mushroom. The biggest component of a fungus is not what you think of as the mushroom, it's a mass of tiny strands called hyphae. It's only when the fungus is ready to reproduce that it puts up a fruiting body (what we call a mushroom).
Mushrooms do generally grow above ground, usually because they grow with the help of fecal matter. However, some mushrooms, referred to as "Truffles," grow underground. I don't know why they do, but pigs can sniff them out.
