Each fungus will have vast numbers of these hyphae, all intertwining to make up a tangled web called the mycelium. The mycelium is generally too fine to be seen by the naked eye, except where the hyphae are very closely packed together. The picture on the left was taken through a microscope.
Hyphae Growth and Structures. A fungus starts from a spore and the initial hypha grows out from that germ. The first hypha grows out, extending at the tip, or apex, and then begins to branch out into richer areas of food, forming a body of hyphae, the mycelium.The hyphae exude digestive enzymes and absorb nutrients.on-septate hyphae, also known as aseptate or coenocytic hyphae, form one long cell with many nuclei. They are the more primitive form of hyphae; species with septate hyphae diverged from a common ancestor with coenocytic hyphae.
