Fungal spores- microscopic biological particles that allow fungi to be reproduced, serving a similar purpose to that of seeds in the plant world. ... There are thousands of different fungi in the world which are essential for the survival of other organisms.
Fungal spores are the tiny dispersal structures of fungi formed in large numbers on a special hyphae which form an important biological component of the air.
They help in the dispersal of the species in the atmosphere of forest areas, urban places, inside buildings and occupational settings.
Their function is similar to the role of pollen in plants in a way that they help in dispersal of fungi in environment because of their properties like small structures, light in weight and can be easily carried and spread by wind, water droplets and flies.
Fungal spores germinate in favorable conditions like presence of moisture and food where upon termination produce hyphae which gros out and forms colony.
When Carl Woese developed the modern system of classification, he broke the previous kingdom of __monerans_ into the two kingdoms of Bacteria and Archaea.
