fruiting body
Let an agent explain the fruiting body, relay its role and forms from biology sources, note the plasmodiocarp of slime moulds, and distinguish the fruiting body from the whole organism and from a plant fruit.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the fruiting body, relay its role and forms from biology sources, note the plasmodiocarp of slime moulds, and distinguish the fruiting body from the whole organism and from a plant fruit.
In fungi and some other organisms, a fruiting body is the multicellular structure that produces and releases spores for reproduction, the visible part often called a mushroom or toadstool in fungi; the registry alias names related forms such as the plasmodiocarp of slime moulds. The fruiting body is only the reproductive structure, while much of the organism lives unseen as a network of threads, and forms vary widely across groups.
What it is for: Producing and releasing spores.
It can be explain the structure; relay its reproductive role; describe varied forms; distinguish it from the whole organism.
Distinguishing features
Bears spores
Reproductive structure
Only part of the organism
Varied forms
What it looks like
Varies widely; in fungi a mushroom or bracket, in slime moulds a small spore-bearing body.
Physical character
role: produces spores note
nature: multicellular reproductive structure note
registry parent: multicellular structure note
How it is recognised
Spore-producing structure of a fungus or similar organism
Mushroom, bracket, plasmodiocarp
The whole fungus includes hidden threads; a plant fruit develops from a flower
