Yes, mushrooms are multicellular organisms. They belong to the fungi kingdom, which is composed of complex cellular structures. The body of a mushroom is primarily made up of a network of hyphae, which are thread-like structures that group together to form mycelium. The visible part of the mushroom that we typically recognize (the fruiting body) is just one part of this larger organism. Unlike unicellular organisms, multicellular fungi can have specialized cells and structures that perform different functions.
