State
Fungi reproduce asexually by fragmentation, budding, or producing identical spores by mitosis, dispersed by wind or by riding an animal.
Show
Sporangiospores form by mitosis inside a sporangium; conidiospores pinch off, unenclosed, at the tips of specialized hyphae.
Watch for
Asexual spores are genetically identical to their parent thallus — they introduce no new variation into the population.
