The oddly named Spitzenkorper is an organelle which helps produce these long tubules. The generative variety of these string like filaments are thin and have reproductive abilities, while the skeletal variety are very thick and cannot reproduce. These tubes, which are frequently used for absorption from the host by parasitic fungi, also have septa, which divide them in two. A conglomeration of these tubules is called a mycelium. FTP, name these root- like structures which are the primary method of nutrient transport and absorption in fungi.          |
