Fungi are mostly a mesh of microscopic branching filaments that usually live on or below the surface. Branching filaments are called __________________________. The visible part of fungi are the reproductive parts. Digestion is _____________________ ­ nutrients are digested _________________ before being absorbed by the hyphae.
