Best Answer

The mycelium of hyphae (of mould fungi) grow spore cases which contain spores. When spores are released and land on food/material, it grows into a new mycelium.

Can flowering plants reproduce by spores?

Yes the spores are like seeds. They drop off of a fern and onto the ground and sooner or later they sprout and makes a new fern. Spores are not like seeds. They lack a seed coat, endosperm and preformed embryonic parts. In addition spores give rise to the gametophyte generation and seeds give rise to the sporophyte generation. Ferns and mosses do both reproduce by using spores BUT mosses have a reduced almost parasitic sporophyte generation which produces the spores. These spores will produces the gametophyte generation (the green leafy thing we see). The gametophyte produces the sex cells that fuse to make a zygote. This zygote then forms a new sporophyte. With ferns the sporophyte generation is more dominant than the gametophyte. The leafy structure we see is the sporophyte.
