Nuclei of multinucleate hyphal tip cells divided almost synchronously. Nuclear division was followed by multiple septation during which the elongated hyphal tip cell was divided into several, generally multinucleate, cells. Within the same hypha a distinct growth pattern was not observed with respect to number, length, and nuclear number of cells formed with each successive nuclear division‐septation cycle. Hyphal branches originated and received nuclei from hyphal tip cells.
