- For different species, hyphae are modified to serve different functions. For instance, such hypha as Appressorium, Haustoria and Mycelial strand among others play an important role of absorbing nutrients from the substrate. These types of hyphae are modified differently in a manner that allows them to access and obtain nutrients more effectively.

Jan 21, 2018 · Hyphae can be classified based on the presence of internal septa (septate versus aseptate species). Hyphae can also be distinguished from species which produce pseudohyphae via cell division. Pseudohyphae is a form of incomplete cell division, in which the dividing cells do not separate.
Hyphae are found enveloping the gonidia in lichens, making up a large part of their structure. In nematode-trapping fungi, hyphae may be modified into trapping structures such as constricting rings and adhesive nets. Mycelial cords can be formed to transfer nutrients over larger distances.

- Plectenchyma (Fig. 1.12): A false tissue formed by aggregation of hyphae is known as Plectenchyma. All fungal tissues come under this general term.
- Rhizomorph (Fig. 1.14 A, B): A thick strand or root like aggregation of somatic hyphae is called Rhizomorph. The hyphae loose their identity and individuality and the whole mass behaves as an organised unit.
- Sclerotium (pl. Sclerotia): A sclerotium is a compact globose or elongated structure formed by the aggregation and adhesion of hyphae. It may survive for long periods of time sometimes for several years and thus represent the resting stage of the fungus.
- Stromata: Any fungal tissue that forms reproductive structures are called Stromata. These are compact somatic structures like mattresses. Generally, sclerotia on germination form stromata in which reproductive structures develop.

Jun 6, 2011 · The mechanisms underlying the growth of fungal hyphae are rooted in the physical property of cell pressure. Internal hydrostatic pressure (turgor) is one of the major forces driving the localized...
Hyphae navigate around impenetrable objects and dermatophytes intercalate between layers of cornified epithelium and other tissues. Hyphae can also fuse and follow complex morphogenetic programmes to generate structures such as perithecia, lichenous thalli and the sporocarps of mushrooms.
