spores are main reproductive elements of fungi.
The sexual spores are divided into four categories depending upon the spores produced and their morphology. '''Zygomycetes''' are primitive fungi with a non-septate mycelium. The sexual spores are oospores or zygospores (the asexual spores are produced in a sporangium). '''Ascomycetes''' are higher fungi. They have a septate mycelium and the sexual spores are called ascospores (the asexual spores are conidia). '''Basidiomycetes''' are also higher fungi with a septate mycelium which has clamp connections. The sexual spores are basidiospores (the asexual spores are produced externally). '''Deuteromycetes''' are an artifical group of fungi which have an unknown sexual state.

== Reproduction of fungi ==
There are three types of reproduction of fungi as follows
1.vegetative
2.Asexual
3.Sexual
The '''vegetative '''reproduction of fungi includin :-
-fragmentation
-budding
-fission
-sclerotia
-rhiromorphs
2. '''Asexual '''reproduction of fungi including :-
-zoospores
-sporagiospores
-chlamydospores
-oidia
-conidia
3.'''sexual '''reproduction of fungi including :-
-planogametic copulation
-gametangial contact
-gametangial copulation
-spermatiazation
-somatogamy
