Detailed explanation-1: -The filaments are called hyphae (singular, hypha). Each hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall. A mass of hyphae make up the body of a fungus, which is called a mycelium (plural, mycelia). The hyphae of most fungi are divided into cells by internal walls called septa (singular, septum).

Detailed explanation-2: -Structure of Fungi Almost all the fungi have a filamentous structure except the yeast cells. They can be either single-celled or multicellular organisms. Fungi consist of long thread-like structures known as hyphae. These hyphae together form a mesh-like structure called mycelium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Structure. A hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall. In most fungi, hyphae are divided into cells by internal cross-walls called “septa” (singular septum). Septa are usually perforated by pores large enough for ribosomes, mitochondria, and sometimes nuclei to flow between cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hyphae are the basic cellular unit of filamentous fungal structures. Individual hyphae are small and, with few exceptions, can be seen only after considerable magnification.
