19.5 Study Guide

Fungi absorb their food from the environment rather than making their own through photosynthesis. Their bodies are composed of long strands called hyphae that form a mycelium. Fungi come in many shapes and sizes, reproducing both sexually through structures like fruiting bodies and asexually through spores. They have important symbiotic relationships with plants through mycorrhizae.
