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.
Yeast. A less familiar fungus body is the yeast. Under the microscope, you can observe that yeast is composed of single cells that continually divides, by budding or fission to form lots and lots of cells.To the naked eye, this growth will appear to be a thick, syrupy growth (Figure 4a). less familiar fungus body, is the yeast.

Let us first discuss the more familiar filamentous appearance of the mycelium.
