<Li> The cells of most fungi grow as tubular , elongated , and thread - like ( filamentous ) structures called hyphae , which may contain multiple nuclei and extend by growing at their tips . Each tip contains a set of aggregated vesicles -- cellular structures consisting of proteins , lipids , and other organic molecules -- called the Spitzenkörper . Both fungi and oomycetes grow as filamentous hyphal cells . In contrast , similar - looking organisms , such as filamentous green algae , grow by repeated cell division within a chain of cells . There are also single - celled fungi ( yeasts ) that do not form hyphae , and some fungi have both hyphal and yeast forms . </Li>
