Abstract
Rhizomorphs and mycelial strands occur widely in the Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Fungi Imperfecti, but yet the structure, development, and functions of these common vegetative organs have not been studied intensively. At the present time there appears to be no obvious morphological distinction between a mycelial strand and a rhizomorph, for these structures exist in a continuum from simple to complex, some being little more than individual hyphae or aggregations of hyphae, as in Ophiobolus graminis, and others ranging upward to highly elaborate rhizomorphs containing well organized apices and differentiated celltypes, as in Sphaerostilbe repens, Merulius lacrimans, and Armillaria
