The following points highlight the four types of spore formation in lower fungi. The types are: 1. Sporangiospores 2. Conidia 3. Chlamydospores 4. Oidia. Type # 1. Sporangiospores: These are asexual spores produced endogenously in special sac-like asexual reproductive organs called the sporangia. The sporangia vary widely in form in the lower fungi. These may be flask-shaped (A), cylindrical, irregularly [...]

The following points highlight the three ways for accomplishment of plasmogamy in lower fungi. The ways are: 1. Planogametic Copulation 2. Gametangial Contact 3. Gametangial Copulation. Way # 1. Planogametic Copulation: It is characteristic of the primitive planogametic lower fungi (Chytridiomycetes and Plasmodiophoromycetes). In this kind of gametic union, one or both the gametes of a uniting pair are motile [...]
