Summary Introduction

To review:

Fungal spores and their function.

Introduction:

Fungal spores are nonmotile, single-celled, or multicellular structures consisting of haploid nuclei guarded by a hard wall, which are responsible for reproduction in fungi. They are adapted for dispersal from the main fungal body and are transferred through wind and water to different places. They can survive in extremely harsh conditions and remain dormant until favorable conditions develop.
