Each hypha can be composed of a chain of fungal cells as is the case with septate
fungi. In this case, the hyphae are separated into sections by cross walls called septa. In some organisms, the hypha is
a continuous cytoplasm with many nuclel. These hyphae are known as coenocytic fungi.
Hyphae contain large vacuoles. The hypha is surrounded by a plasma membrane and a cell wall, which is made of
