The usual structure of the fungus is the underground part (mycelium or mycelium) and the aboveground (leg and hat). Moreover, in most cases, the leg is attached to the hat strictly in the center. But there are also representatives of the Mushroom Kingdom who do not have a leg at all, or this part of them is not attached to the center of the hat, but is sharply shifted to the edge. You can find a description of these varieties on this page.
