In Fungi and Lichens the formation of tissue originates by the apical growthof juxtaposed thin filaments consisting of rows of cells (the hyphse), and differentorders of branchlets of them; each filament grows by itself, increasing the number ofits cells by division, and branches copiously; but this takes place in such a mannerthat the different hyphse undergo a similar development at definite spots on the wholebody of the Fungus or Lichen; thus arise surfaces, strings, hollow structures, &c.,.
