Hyphae are less branched filaments consisting of a single cell that can be several centimeters long. They contain several nuclei and can sometimes be partitioned.

The mycelium is a part of the mushroom (composed by many hyphae), which is in the form of white filaments and grows about fifteen centimeters under the ground. It is this part of the mushroom that has therapeutic properties because the filaments of the mycelium are going to draw the minerals in the soil.
