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.
The body of Ascomycota is shared by other fungi and consists of a typical eukaryotic cell surrounded by a wall. The body can be a single cell, as in yeasts, or a long tubular filament divided into cellular segments, which is called a hypha (plural, hyphae).scomycota are either single-celled (yeasts) or filamentous (hyphal) or both (dimorphic). Yeasts grow by budding or fission and hyphae grow apically and branch laterally. Most yeasts and filamentous Ascomycota are haploid, but some species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae for example, can also be diploid.
