septate have cell walls to separate the cells while nonseptate hyphae do not

Septate have gills and a stem while nonseptate hyphae do not.

There is no difference

Nonseptate hyphae are seen only in the phylum basidiomycota while septate hyphae are seen in ascomycota

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyphae that have walls (septa) between the cells are called septate hyphae; hyphae that lack walls and cell membranes between the cells are called nonseptate or coenocytic hyphae (Figure 4.2.
Detailed explanation-2: -Septa usually have little pores that are large enough to allow ribosomes, mitochondria and sometimes nuclei to flow among cells. Hyphae that are divided into cells are called septate hyphae. However, the hyphae of some fungi are not separated by septa. Hyphae without septae are called coenocytic hyphae.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many refer to zygomycete hyphae as non-septate because they don’t have true septa with pores, they are one continuous cell. Cells are separated by solid cross walls with no pores and there is no flow of cytoplasmic material between cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -The key difference between septate and aseptate hyphae is that septate hyphae have septa or cross walls that divide hyphae into distinct cells while aseptate hyphae lack septa. Hyphae are long filament or thread-like structures of fungi. Hyphae represent the vegetative structure of fungi.
Detailed explanation-5: -Non-septate hyphae are the result of the nucleus repeatedly dividing but not the cytoplasm. This can result in many nuclei in the cytoplasm along with other organelles such as ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
