Mushroom families The life cycle of a mushroom-producing fungus can be summarized as follows: a spore germinates and produces hyphae that form a "primary mycelium." If this mycelium comes into contact with another mycelium of the same species, their hyphae can fuse to form a "secondary mycelium." Then fruiting bodies-the actual mushrooms-develop, mature and produce spores, to begin the cycle again.
