Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reproductive structure, also known as the fruiting body, is the part of the mushroom that we typically eat. This is where the spores are produced and dispersed, and it is also where the gills or pores that contain the mushroom's reproductive cells are located. The mycelium and hypha are part of the fungal structure that exists underground or within the substrate on which the mushroom is growing, and the spores are a method of reproduction but are not typically eaten as food.
