Here's a bit more about hyphae:
* Structure: Hyphae are slender, thread-like structures that make up the body of a fungus (the mycelium).
* Growth: They grow at their tips, extending into the substrate (like soil or wood) and absorbing nutrients.
* Types: There are two main types of hyphae:
* Septate hyphae: These have cross-walls called septa that divide the hyphae into individual cells.
* Aseptate hyphae: These lack septa and are essentially one long, multinucleate cell.
