Lycopodium is a clubmoss which is homosporous
Lycopodium is Isophyllous,Homosporous.It has monocious gametophyte and do not have rhizophores.But Selaginella is Dimorphism, heterosporous.It has dioecious gmetophyte and rhizophores
Lycopodium has only one size of spores said to homosporous while Selaginella has both a microspore that grows into the male gametophyte and macrospores that produces female gametophytes. Selaginella has ligules at the base of each microphyl

Selaginella is a heterosporous plant, meaning it produces two types of spores – megaspores and microspores. Megaspores develop into female gametophytes, while microspores develop into male gametophytes.
Lycopodium is homosporous producing only one type of spores.
Lycopodium produces spores known as homosporous spores, which are all of the same size and shape, allowing for a uniform dispersal method.
no selaginella has megaspores and microspores
Yes, Selaginella have megaspores and microspores not seeds like the naked seeds of Conifers and Cycads and the Seeds of Angiosperms. Selaginella belong to the Clubmoss Group Lycopodiopsida see related link.
Lycopodium, which is in the genus club mosses
It is an important technique for powdered drug ,especially when chemical & other method fail as accurate measure of quality. Lycopodium is composed of spores of lycopodium elavatum.I. Each spore is tetrahedral in shape, The base is rounded and the threeside wallmakes the three well marked covering ridge, which join one other at filled with fixed oil. The spore are exceptionally uniform in size(25µm) and the shape tetrahedral so that one can always know that a definite no. of spore present in particular weight of lycopodium. On an average 94000 spores per mg of powdered lycopodium are present. Using this figure one can calculate the weight of any number of spores under any condition underthe microscope.
Yes, lycopodiums do produce cones. These cones are the reproductive structures that contain the spores necessary for reproduction.
