In Botany, a term given to the organs of vegetation of liverworts, lichens, and seaweed, and to the bed of fibres from which many species of fungi arise. It is regarded as a fusion or blending together of leaf and stem. Hence plants consisting of thalli only are called Thallophytes orT hallo gens. The spawn of the mushroom shows the appearance of the thallus in fungi. [s. 1239]
