| At this time of year, flowers are replaced
with the equally colourful fruiting bodies of fungi, which differ from plants
in that they do not contain chlorophyll and are thus unable to obtain nourishment
by photosynthesis. They must therefore rely on the absorption of nourishment
from the substrate (soil, decaying wood, etc.) This is done by colonisation
of their chosen substrate with thread-like filaments called hyphae.
These form a web-like mass called the mycelium which spreads
through the substrate, releasing enzymes and absorbing nutrients. Information: A field guide to Australian Fungi (Bruce Fuhrer)
