Question:

Talk about asexual reproduction of fungi (spore formation)

Author: H K



Answer:

Spores are quite small and easily carried by wind. Reproductive structures involved in the production of spores are called sporangia. These sporangia are located at the tip of hyphae from which they are separated by complete septa. Spores are the primary means of reproduction, dispersal and survival. Spores are resting resistant stages (cysts) under unfavorable conditions and are in an active stage under favorable conditions. Spores could be exogenous, called conidia, (e.g. Penicillium) or endogenous, produced inside sporangia (e.g. Rhizopus). Spores of fungi are non-flagellated (aplanospores).
