Fungi (Eukaryote)

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that produce long filaments called hyphae, which form a mass called mycellium. Chitin is a characteristic component of the cell wall of hyphae. In most fungi, the hyphae are septate and contain crosswalls that divide the filament into separate cells containing one nucleus each. In some others,the hyphae are nonseptate and contain several nuclei. They are called coenocytic hyphae.
