AI overview

A hypha is a long, thread-like filament that makes up the basic structure of fungi, containing various cellular components like a nucleus, mitochondria, and cell walls. Hyphae matter because they allow fungi to grow and spread through their environment, as seen when they colonize food sources like tomato sauce.
