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.
