We normally think of fungi as toadstools and mushrooms, because that's when they are most obvious to us. But fungi are present all year underground. They spend most of their life in a fluffy, thread-like form, feeding on the nutrients in the soil. When the conditions are right, normally in mild or damp weather, the fruiting body, which we know as a mushroom or toadstool, shoots up out of the ground. This is done in an effort to distribute its spores, which are the seeds for the next generation of fungi.
