The growth process of fungal hyphae involves transport of nutrients from the sub-apical region of the fungus to the growing tip of hyphae. At the tip domain, the URLanelle -Spitzenkorper uses the nutrients that are packaged as membrane bound vesicles to synthesize fresh cell wall. This in turn leads to elongation and branching of the hyphae and formation of a single colony mycelium. We propose a driven lattice gas model which incorporates the processes of vesicle supply dependent linear extension and branching of the tips of the hyphae, apart from process of motor driven transport of vesicles along the hyphae towards the growing tips .
