Plants may look simple, but the way they preserve their species is anything but. They have a life cycle which involves alternation between a generation of one set of chromosomes (haploid) and two sets of chromosomes (diploid) in order to reproduce.
- Fungus - Sporophores, Spores, Reproduction | BritannicaFungus - Sporophores, Spores, Reproduction: When the mycelium of a fungus reaches a certain stage of growth, it begins to produce spores either directly on the somatic hyphae or, more often, on special sporiferous (spore-producing) hyphae, which may be loosely arranged or grouped into intricate structures called fruiting bodies, or sporophores.
