Hypae is the shape of the fungi

The shape of a fungi depends on the type your talking about.

-the Kingdom Fungi includes multicellular molds, unicellular yeasts, and macroscopic species like mushrooms

In my microbiology class we focused on the microscopic fungi: yeast & molds.

The thallus (body) of molds or fleshy fungi (i.e. mushrooms) consist of hyphae (long filaments of cells joined together).

-septate hyphae (in most molds) contain septa (cross-walls) that divide the hyphae into distinct, uninucleate (one nucleus) cell like units.

- coenocytic hyphae (in a few classes of fungi) contain no septa (septum for singular) and look like long continuous cells with many nuclei.

The portion of the hypha that gets the nutrients is the vegetative hypha, and the portion involved in reproduction is the reproductive (or aerial) hypha that often bears reproductive spores.

Cellular Arrangement of Fungi: unicellular, filamentous (chainlike series of cells), & fleshy (i.e. mushrooms)

-yeasts are nonfilamentous & unicellular, (shaped oval or spherical)
