After plasmogamy has occurred, many molds (Mucoromycetes) exist in a heterokaryotic stage for up to centuries at a time. What occurs at the immediate end of this stage? The nuclei fuse in a process called karyogamy. The hyphae fuse in a process called karyogamy. Diploid spores are produced in various spore-producing structures.
