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.
Basidiomycota (club fungi) have septate hyphae and includes fungi that produce fruiting structures called mushrooms. Sexual spores are basidiospores formed externally on a base pedestal called a basidium.olds and fleshy fungi consist of long filaments of cells joined together (hyphae). A fungal thallus (body) is the vegetative, nonreproductive part of the organism and consists of a tangled mass of hyphae called a mycelium. Septa usually have openings that allow the cytoplasm of adjacent âcellsâ to be continuous.
