👉 Cyathipodia are tiny, highly specialized cells found in certain types of fungi that play a crucial role in their survival and reproduction. They contain a unique protein called hyphae, which they use to generate new hyphae by attaching to other hyphae and using them as anchors to grow their own hyphae. These hyphae are then used to form the mycelium of the fungus, which is responsible for its growth and development.
