Read this description of the life cycle of a mushroom.1. A mushroom begins to grow underground as a single-celled "spore.”2. The spore grows into multicellular structures called "hyphae.”3. The hyphae absorb nutrition and detect when conditions are right to sprout a mushroom above ground.4. The sprouted mushroom then forms new spores that can enter the ground and begin the life cycle again.
