Editing Hypha (section)

==Structure==
A hypha consists of one or more [[cell (biology)|cell]]s surrounded by a tubular [[cell wall]].  In most fungi, hyphae are divided into cells by internal cross-walls called "septa" (singular [[septum]]). Septa are usually perforated by pores large enough for [[ribosome]]s, [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]], and sometimes [[cell nucleus|nuclei]] to flow between cells. The major structural polymer in fungal cell walls is typically [[chitin]], in contrast to plants and [[oomycete]]s that have [[cellulose|cellulosic]] cell walls.  Some fungi have aseptate hyphae, meaning their hyphae are not partitioned by septa.

Hyphae have an average diameter of 4–6 [[μm]].<ref name="Maheshwari">{{cite book | last=Maheshwari | first=R. | title=Fungi: Experimental Methods In Biology | edition=Second | publisher=CRC Press | series=Mycology | year=2016 | isbn=978-1-4398-3904-1 | page=3}}</ref>
