Hyphae threadlike filaments of a fungus: the filaments- hyphae of fungi fig. 22. 1: these filaments are the building structure of the mycelium, they consist of a tubular cell wall containing chitin surrounding a plasma membrane and cytoplasm, chitin structural polysaccharide of modified sugars of fungal cell walls. 22. 1): septa structure that partially separate the cytoplasm inside the hyphae. Table 22. 1: main groups of fungi (evolutionary tree) figure 22. 4. Most feed on dead aquatic plants or debris. Some species are parasitic and one is linked to rapid declines in some amphibian populations. >the fungus impedes the ability of amphibians" skin to absorb water and oxygen by digesting the keratin of the skin.
