Do fungi have cell walls?

Yes, fungi are part of the plant kingdom and plants have cell walls covering the plasma membrane. The cell walls of fungi are mostly made of a material called chitin which the plant makes from glucose. Chitin is the same tough and durable material that makes up the exoskeleton of crustaceans and insects. read more

Unlike fungi, oomycetes typically possess cell walls of cellulose and glucans rather than chitin, although some genera (such as Achlya and Saprolegnia) do have chitin in their walls. The fraction of cellulose in the walls is no more than 4 to 20%, far less than the fraction of glucans. read more

With plants: Fungi have a cell wall and vacuoles. They reproduce by both sexual and asexual means, and like basal plant groups (such as ferns and mosses) produce spores. Similar to mosses and algae, fungi typically have haploid nuclei. read more
