Sometimes the hyphae are divided into Compartments by cross walls called septa . Fungi with cross walls are called septate fungi, while fungi without cross walls are called coenocytic fungi.
The main difference between septate and coenicytic fungi is that they posses divisions or septa on their hyphae. Are invaginations of the same material that composes the cell wall, usually chitin, these septa have small pores in them that allow the inter exchange of materials like ribosomes and even nuclei between cells, when the hypha is damaged septum pores are closed, localizing damage, saving the rest of the hypha from further damage. While hypae on coenicytic fungi don have any septa, so the whole hypha is a single cell, when damaged the hypha will try to recover, but if the damage is large enough the hypha will die. This is a clear advantage of septate over non-septate fungi. Most Phylums on the Kingdom Mycota are septate. Fungus-like organisms posses coenicytic hyphae.
for plato users, its septa
Fungal mycelium in which hyphae lack septa (a wall, dividing a hypha into smaller ones) are known as "aseptate" or "coenocytic". So basically its hyphae without a cross wall.
Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes are not. Filamentous chytrids and zygomycetes can be considered unicellular if there are no septa in their hyphae. For the most part, threadlike fungi are considered multicellular.
Rhizpous hyphae are not divided, so are coenocytic.

septa
Yeasts are unicellular and don't form hyphae. If the environment is harsh they may form pseudohyphae. Molds usually form aseptate hyphae. Sometimes mold's sporangium can have a septa, which separates it form the rest of mycellium.

The hyphae that are found in most fungi are the ones with divided walls. The division of these walls is an internal cross wall called the septa.

1. Multinucleate hyphae w/o septa (except in reproduction structures). 2. Fusion of hyphae leads directly to zygote formation in the zygosporangium. 3. Zygote meiosis occurs just before germination. 4. Most common type of reproduction is asexual.
There is no such number as septa nor septa zero.
