Fungi share six traits: (generalizations that unite them) Most fungi have a number of cell types. Many fungi have both secual and asexual reproduction. Multicellular (almost all, and these can have unicellular stages) They are filamentous and long chains of cell like structures. They are not truly divided because it allows the transportation of nutrients fast through the body which allows fast growth. Cellular separation is not important to fungi. Septa have pores that allow cytoplasma to flow throughout. Groups of hyphae form these complex structures. They can take many forms and with digestive or reproductive sections.
