A single thread-like filament that makes up the body of a fungus.
A hypha is one microscopic branching thread among many that together form the tangled mass called mycelium. Fungi absorb nutrients through the walls of these filaments as they grow through soil, wood or other material. A single hypha is invisible to the naked eye, but masses of them are what make mold look fuzzy.
