Botanists call this "cloning".

Like when you cut a bit off one plant and make a new plant you have 2 plants but they're genetically identical.

There's never two fungi here though, the mycelium is always continuous. There's never another individual structure either, like ribosomal cloning, it's just more hyphae.
