In a very dilute medium the cells take up water by osmosis. The cell swells, building up pressure against the cell wall. The wall exerts an equal pressure against the swollen cell. Thus due to the equal pressure from both the sides, the cells of fungi can withstand very dilute external media without bursting

Heya friend !!
The cell of fungi takes up water due to osmosis . As a result the cell becomes swollen thereby creating a considerable amount of pressure against the cell wall. The cell wall also produces an equal and opposite pressure on the swollen cell thereby nullifying each other's effects. Hence the presence of cell wall helps in providing support to the fungi and thus prevents its rupture.
Hope that helps !
