Spores found in fungi
Zoospores are motile (flagellated) spores found in Phycomycetes.
Sporangiospores are non-flagellated spores that develop inside sporangia e.g. Mucor, Rhizopus etc.
Conidia are non-motile exogenous spores that develop on specialised hyphae called conidiophores e.g. Penicillium, Aspergillus Etc.
Ascospores are non-motile sexual spores that are formed endogenously after sexual reproduction inside special sacs called ascus. An ascus generally contains 8 ascospores e.g. ascomycetes.
Basidiospores are non-motile sexual spores that are formed exogenously on short outgrowths called sterigmata of the club-shaped structure called basidium. E.g. basidiomycetes.
Binucleate spores are dikaryotic i.e. they have two nuclei which have not fused yet. Aeciospores, teleutospores, uredospores.
Non motile, exogenous, asexual spores found in fungi are conidia.
