Mycelium. — The mushroom is, then, the spore-bearing part of the plant. Where is the plant body? This question is an- swered if we dig up a little of the earth surrounding a mush- room. In the rich black soil is seen a mass of little whitish threads. These threads form the mycelium of the fungus. The hyphae of this part of the plant body take food from the organic matter in the soil and digest protoplasm or used to produce energy. This seems to be the usual method by which sapro- phytes assimilate the materials on which they live. Other Saprophytic Fungi.—The mushroom re- sembles a tiny umbrella. The upper part is known to bot- anists as the cap; the cap is held up by a stalk or stipe. The under surface of the cap discloses a number of struc- tures which radiate out from the central stipe to the edge If you place the cap of a mushroom a piece of white paper, being careful not to
