The Body of a Fungus Fungi exist mainly in the form of slender filaments, barelyvisible to the naked eye, which are called hyphae (singular, hypha). These hyphae are typically made up of long chainsof cells joined end-to-end divided by cross-walls called septa (singular, septum).. Fungi have cell walls made of chitin. The cellwalls of fungi are built of polysaccharides (chains ofsugars) and chitin, the same tough material a crabshell is made of. The cell walls of plants are made ofcellulose, also a strong building material. 5.
Fungal cells are arranged end to end to form threadlike filaments called hyphae (singular, hypha). When fungi grow, new cells are added to the tip of the hyphae. The cells of hyphae have thin cell walls made up of chitin. Structure and morphology of hyphae vary with the group of fungi.Some fungal groups do possess cross-walls, or septa between cells of their hyphae, whereas some do not.hen fungi grow, new cells are added to the tip of the hyphae.
