A typical fungus consists of a mass of branched, tubular filaments enclosed by a rigid cell wall. The filaments, called hyphae (singular hypha), branch repeatedly into a complicated, radially-expanding network called the mycelium, which makes up the thallus, or undifferentiated body, of the typical fungus. Some fungi, notably the yeasts, do not form a mycelium but grow…

Size range and diversity of structure
The part of a fungus that is generally visible is the fruiting body, or sporophore. Sporophores vary greatly in size, shape, colour, and longevity. Some are microscopic and completely invisible to the unaided eye; others are no larger than a pin head; still others are gigantic structures. Among the largest sporophores are those of the mushrooms, bracket fungi, and puffballs…

"Some fungi exist as single cells and are known as yeast. However, most species are multicellular. The bodies of these fungi typically form a network of tiny filaments called hyphae (singular, hypha). Hyphae are composed of tubular cell walls surrounding the plasma membrane and cytoplasm of the cells. The hyphae form an interwoven mass called a mycelium that surrounds and infiltrates the material on which the fungus feeds."
