The parts of a kelp thallus include the holdfast (anchor), stipe (supports the blades) and the blades (for photosynthesis). The thallus of a fungus is usually called a mycelium. The term thallus is also commonly used to refer to the vegetative body of a lichen. In seaweed, thallus is sometimes also called 'frond'.

In almost all fungi the hyphae that make up the thallus have cell walls. (The thalli of the true slime molds lack cell walls and, for this and other reasons, are classified as protists rather than fungi.) A hypha is a multibranched tubular cell filled with cytoplasm. The tube itself may be either continuous throughout or divided into compartments, or cells, by cross walls called septa (singular septum). In nonseptate (i.e., coenocytic) hyphae the nuclei are scattered throughout the cytoplasm. In septate hyphae each cell may contain one to many nuclei, depending on the type of fungus or the stage of hyphal development. The cells of fungi are similar in structure to those of many other organisms. The minute nucleus, readily seen only in young portions of the hypha, is surrounded by a double membrane and typically contains one nucleolus. In addition to the nucleus, various organelles—such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, and liposomes—are scattered throughout the cytoplasm.

Hyphae usually are either nonseptate (generally in the more primitive fungi) or incompletely septate (meaning that the septa are perforated). This permits the movement of cytoplasm (cytoplasmic streaming) from one cell to the next. In fungi with perforated septa, various molecules are able to move rapidly between hyphal cells, but the movement of larger organelles, such as mitochondria and nuclei, is prevented. In the absence of septa, both mitochondria and nuclei can be readily translocated along hyphae. In mating interactions between filamentous Basidiomycota, the nuclei of one parent often invade the hyphae of the other parent, because the septa are degraded ahead of the incoming nuclei to allow their passage through the existing hyphae. Once the incoming nuclei are established, septa are re-formed.

Variations in the structure of septa are numerous in the fungi. Some fungi have sievelike septa called pseudosepta, whereas fungi in other groups have septa with one to few pores that are small enough in size to prevent the movement of nuclei to adjacent cells. Basidiomycota have a septal structure called a dolipore septum that is composed of a pore cap surrounding a septal swelling and septal pore. This organization permits cytoplasm and small organelles to pass through but restricts the movement of nuclei to varying degrees.

Club fungus (Claveria) has a dolipore septum, which is made up of a pore cap that surrounds a septal swelling and septal pore.

The wall of the hypha is complex in both composition and structure. Its exact chemical composition varies in different fungal groups. In some funguslike organisms the wall contains considerable quantities of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that is the chief constituent of the cell walls of plants. In most fungi, however, two other polymers—chitin and glucan (a polymer of glucose linked at the third carbon and branched at the sixth), which forms an α-glucan layer and a special β-1,3-1,6-glucan layer—form the main structural components of the wall. Among the many other chemical substances in the walls of fungi are some that may thicken or toughen the wall of tissues, thus imparting rigidity and strength. The chemical composition of the wall of a particular fungus may vary at different stages of the organism’s growth—a possible indication that the wall plays some part in determining the form of the fungus. In some fungi, carbohydrates are stored in the wall at one stage of development and are removed and utilized at a later stage. In some yeasts, fusion of sexually functioning cells is brought about by the interaction of specific chemical substances on the walls of two compatible mating types.

hope it help u.
