Hyphae

Real World Example

Imagine trying to untangle a set of Christmas lights that have been left in a box for a year. Just like those tangled strings work together to create a beautiful display when properly arranged, hyphae are the threadlike tubes that collectively form the structure of a fungus. In this analogy, each strand of the Christmas lights represents a hypha, and together, they create the complete network, much like how hyphae come together to build the body of a fungus.
