| Hyphal fusion is presumably a way to increase cytoplasmic flow and interconnectedness of hypha. |
| Easily distinguishable from all similar moulds by the absence of mycelium or of anything like a hypha. |
| After 10 mitotic divisions, the tip of the hypha bends to form a crozier into which migrates one nucleus of each mating type. |
| In this process, a bud develops on the surface of either the yeast cell or the hypha, with the cytoplasm of the bud being continuous with that of the parent cell. |
| Hyphal branches tend to arise at acute angles from the parent hypha. |
| Candida albicans has no extracorporeal life cycle and grows as both blastospores and hypha within the body. |
