zygospores
Zygomycota produces zygospores, which germinate into new hyphae when conditions are favorable. Zygospores are the resting spores formed through sexual reproduction in Zygomycota fungi, allowing for genetic recombination and adaptation.
Mould is a fungi growth typically a hyphae but it can be a part of the Zygomycota, Deuteromycota and Ascomycota groupings.
Zygomycota ! (: You cant really answer this question because its worded badly but i had the question as well & it said that zygomycota is the answer !
The specialized hyphae in asexually reproducing Zygomycota fungi which grow upward and bear sporangia containing spores are called sporangiophores. These structures are responsible for producing and releasing spores for reproduction in the fungi.
Zygomycota, commonly known as conjugated fungi, are characterized by their ability to reproduce sexually through the formation of zygospores. They typically have coenocytic hyphae, meaning their hyphae lack septa and are multinucleate. Zygomycota are primarily terrestrial and often found in soil or decaying organic matter, with members such as Rhizopus (black bread mold) being well-known examples. They also reproduce asexually through sporangiospores, which are produced in specialized structures called sporangia.

Threadlike fungi is mostly responsible for decomposition but some of them can be parasites. The scientific name of this fungis is Zygomycota.
1. Multinucleate hyphae w/o septa (except in reproduction structures). 2. Fusion of hyphae leads directly to zygote formation in the zygosporangium. 3. Zygote meiosis occurs just before germination. 4. Most common type of reproduction is asexual.
Zygomycota fungi produce spores in sporangia, which are structures that contain and release the spores. These sporangia are found at the tips of specialized hyphae called sporangiophores.
Septate hyphae have cross-walls (septa) dividing the hyphae into individual cells with pores for transferring nutrients and organelles between cells. Coenocytic hyphae lack septa and are multinucleate, forming a continuous cytoplasmic mass throughout the hypha. Septate hyphae are generally found in fungi of the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla, while coenocytic hyphae are commonly seen in fungi of the Zygomycota phylum.
Hyphae themselves do not contain spores; rather, they are the branching filamentous structures that make up the mycelium of fungi. Spores are reproductive units that can be produced by certain types of hyphae, specifically specialized structures called fruiting bodies or sporangia. When conditions are favorable, these spores can be released and germinate to form new fungal organisms. Thus, while hyphae play a crucial role in the life cycle of fungi, they do not contain spores directly.
