mushrooms
The fungus reproduce by microscopic spores. These spores can be spread in the air and soil, where they can be inhaled or come in contact to surfaces.

Bacteria can form spores in order to remain dormant for years. Spores are a protective structure that allows bacteria to survive harsh conditions such as lack of nutrients, extreme temperatures, or exposure to chemicals. When conditions improve, spores can germinate and grow into active bacteria again.
Spores themselves do not typically store food; rather, they are reproductive units produced by fungi, plants, and some bacteria to facilitate reproduction and survival in adverse conditions. They are usually encased in a protective coat and can remain dormant until conditions are favorable for germination. When they do germinate, they rely on external nutrients from their environment to grow into new organisms. However, some spores may contain small amounts of stored energy to support initial growth.
The spores of the fungi spread over long distances and germinate where food is already available.
Spores spread easily and the more spores there are on the food, the more you have a risk or food poisoning. It is best not to consume foods that have been left out for long periods of time, such as on the salad bar.
Yes, green moss does produce spores as part of its reproductive cycle. These spores are released from the sporophyte structure of the moss and can germinate to grow into new moss plants.
Yes, mosses produce spores as part of their reproductive process. Spores are released from the sporangium, a structure on the moss plant, and can develop into new moss plants under suitable conditions.
Organisms that can create their own food but do not produce seeds or spores are green algae and cyanobacteria. They use photosynthesis to generate their own food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
Anthrax spores can remain viable in the environment for a long time, often surviving for decades or even longer under favorable conditions. They are highly resilient to extreme temperatures, desiccation, and disinfectants, which contributes to their longevity. In soil, spores can remain dormant and infectious for many years, posing a potential risk for outbreaks in affected areas.
