No, formed by meiosis.

Fern spores are produced in structures called
The Basidiomycetes or the Ascomycetes are 2 main groups of fungi .In the Basidiomycetes, the spores are produced externally, on the end of specialised cells called basidia.In Ascomycetes, spores are produced internally, inside a sac called an ascus.Asci and basidia are both microscopic structures.Spores are produced by meiosis .BasidiomycetesAscomycetesFungi with spores produced externally, on specialised cells called basidia.Typically, there are 4 spores per basidium .Fungi with spores produced inside a sac called an ascus.Each ascus usually contains 8 spores produced by meiosis followed by mitosis .
The ability to undergo meiosis and produce genetic variation does not apply equally well to both sexual and asexual spores. Sexual spores are formed through meiosis, which shuffles genetic material and leads to genetic variation. Asexual spores, on the other hand, are produced by mitosis and do not contribute to genetic diversity.
In animals, gametes are formed only through meiosis. Mitosis does not produce gametes. However, in autotrophs, spores composed of gametes go though mitosis to produce a gametophyte.
sorialso sporangiaSori are the structures on the underside of fronds in which the spores of ferns are produced.
The sporophyte stage of a plant undergoes meiosis which produces haploid spores. Spores can also be produced during meiosis in the plant life cycle.
Meiosis and not mitosis must be used to produce gamete. This is because meiosis produces spores that are used for reproduction and can form similar copies to the parent cell.
