A sporangiophore is a specialized structure found in some fungi, such as the bread mold Rhizopus. It consists of a stalk-like structure with a swollen tip called the sporangium, which contains the spores. The sporangium eventually bursts to release the spores for reproduction.

When it get swollen it might be that she is pregnet
If the swollen glands can cause in the neck disease.
The columella in a sporangium helps support the spore-producing structures, as well as aids in the dispersal of spores. It also plays a role in regulating the release of spores by controlling the opening and closing of the sporangium.
Rhizopus stolonifer is more commonly known as black bread mold. Rhizopus stolonifer is a part of the family Mucoraceae due to the key feature of a swollen extension of the sporangiophore. It looks like a balloon in the sporangium.
The Sporangium
You need to go see a doctor. If they are swollen that's not normal.
To have swollen glands might mean that you are ill or you have an infection setting in. If you are running a fever or have any other symptoms, see a doctor.
Aspergillus has conidiophores that form a brush-like structure with conidia at the tips, resembling a round brush or broom, while Rhizopus has sporangia that appear swollen and balloon-like with sporangiospores inside. The conidiophores of Aspergillus are more elongated and brush-like compared to the swollen sporangia of Rhizopus.
Microspores develop inside the microsporangium
A mature sporangium typically releases spores, which are reproductive cells that can develop into new individuals. The sporangium undergoes a process called dehiscence, where it opens to disperse these spores into the environment. This dispersal allows for potential germination and growth into new organisms, continuing the life cycle of the parent organism. In some cases, the sporangium may also provide protection or nourishment to the developing spores before they are released.
