# Help: Hypha
|
||
A **hypha** (//plural:// hyphae) is the main content unit used in Mycorrhiza Wiki.
|
||
|
||
## The structure of hypha
|
||
A hypha consists of two parts:
|
||
* **Attachment.** Some form of media. There is only one attachment. See [[/help/en/attachment | Attachment]] for more information about attachments.
|
||
* **Text part.** Either a description of the attachment or a stand-alone text unit such as an article, a diary or a poem. It is written in a special markup, called [[/help/en/mycomarkup | Mycomarkup]].
|
||
|
||
Both parts are optional. You can have a picture without description, an article without an attachment, etc. You can have them both. You must have at least one part, though.
|
||
|
||
## How to create a hypha?
|
||
Some links on wiki are red. It means that they link a hypha that does not exist yet. If you follow this link, you will see a special page where you can upload an attachment or open the text editor. This is how you create hyphae.
|
||
|
||
You can create such red links and follow them to create hyphae.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can edit your address in browser to jump to such pages directly.
|
||
|
||
## Hypha names
|
||
Hypha names are case-insensitive. It means that names //amanita muscaria// and //Amanita Muscaria// are the same. Also, space and underscore are also the same (//amanita muscaria// = //amanita_muscaria//). Canonical names are all lowercase and underscored.
|
||
|
||
There are some characters that cannot be part of a hypha name: `?!:#@><*|"'&%{}\\` Others can be used.
|
||
|
||
## Genealogy
|
||
A **subhypha** is a hypha that has a name starting with a name of a different hypha, followed by a slash and by the rest of the name. For example, hypha //Fruit/Apple// is a subhypha of hypha //Fruit//. There can be as many subhyphae as you want. Subhyphae can have subhyphae themselves.
|
||
|
||
Thus, a **superhypha** is a reverse of subhypha: //Fruit// is the superhypha of //Fruit/Apple//. There can be only one superhypha.
|
||
|
||
**Sibling hyphae** are hyphae that are subhyphae of the same hypha. For example, //Fruit/Apple// and //Fruit/Pear// are sibling hyphae.
|
||
|
||
## Word
|
||
Read the word //hypha// as /ˈhaɪfə/. The plural form is //hyphae//. Read it as /ˈhaɪfi/.
|
||
|
||
The word is taken from mycology, the study of fungi. In a fungus, hyphae are thin white threads from which the mycelium is made. See [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypha | this Wikipedia article]] for more information about real hyphae.

Think of Mycorrhiza Wiki hyphae as of small elements that build up your wiki. |
