<Li> With plants: Fungi have a cell wall and vacuoles . They reproduce by both sexual and asexual means, and like basal plant groups (such as ferns and mosses) produce spores . Similar to mosses and algae, fungi typically have haploid nuclei . </Li> <Li> With euglenoids and bacteria: Higher fungi, euglenoids, and some bacteria produce the amino acid L - lysine in specific biosynthesis steps, called the α - aminoadipate pathway . </Li> <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> <Li> In common with some plant and animal species, more than 70 fungal species display bioluminescence . </Li>

A fungus that lives as a single cell and does not form a hyphae is called
