The correct order starts with the development of chitinous cell walls, which is a fundamental characteristic of fungi. This is followed by the development of hyphae, which are the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus. Next, regular septa, which are divisions between the cells in hyphae, allowing for cell compartmentalization and more complex growth. Finally, the evolution of complex multicellular fruiting bodies, which are structures used for reproduction, represents the most advanced stage in fungal evolution.
