Yes, several fungi are able to forcibly discharge their spores, such as Pilobulos. In sense, these fungi are able to move. Chytrid fungi are very motile. Their spores all ahve a single, whiplash flagellum that allows them to swim through their environment.

yes. Fungi are basically static. But they can spread either by forming reproductive spores that are carried on wind and rain or by growing and extending their hyphae, hyphae are chains of fungus cells. This grows as new cells form at the tips, creating ever longer and branching chains of cells. It is pretty tough to stop them as well. It is tough enough to punch through plant cell walls and the hard exoskeletons of insects.

Most fungi are not able to move on their own. To move, they require other organisms, wind, or water to carry fragments or spores. However, chytrid fungi are able to move very short distances with the aid of flagellated zoospores.

How do fungi move from one place to another?

Fungi more as spores, which asrelated by the parent and which move on the air or in water to a new location where they grow if conditions are right.

Most fungi move by passive means; their spores are carried by wind, water, or animals. Some, the chytrid fungi, have flagella and are capable of swimming in aquatic environments.


Spores help fungi move?

No, spores are reproductive structures. Fungi don't move in the sense that animals do - they can expand throughout an area through growth and elongation of their root structure.
