Buckles are hump-shaped growths on the septa ( cross- walls) of the hyphae of most fungi stand. They are also at the askogenen hyphae fruiting less Ascomycota available. As embodiments of the dikaryotic mycelium, they help to maintain the Zweikernigkeit and make sure that in mitosis a cell with a nucleus A and B both doubled nuclei A 'and B' can be found in the new cell.

Only the terminal cells of a hypha double. Here, first extended the cell until the nucleus has doubled (A ' and B' as a newly formed nuclei ) and the cell is a protuberance later buckle has formed. A 'and B' migrate to the end of the cell, while B may be conveyed into the buckle and the other end A of the cell, close to the other hyphal cells, with the aid of the cytoskeleton. The buckle forms a cell wall, the B distinguishes itself from the cell and shortly thereafter forms a bond with the same cell, but closer to the nucleus A. B can now close to nucleus A hike and a septum forms between the two newly formed hyphal cells that now both are back dikaryontisch with a compatible pair of nuclei.

In the Ascomycetes the protuberances are called hooks.
