How do fungi spread?
Fungi spread by means of sporestiny reproductive cells that may travel great distances borne by wind, water, or animals. There are several kinds of fungal spores. Two types of spores are commonly the most important in the spread of a fungal pathogen during a crops growing season. One of these types is called a conidium (plural conidia). Conidia form as naked (unenclosed) spores at the tips of hyphae. The other type, called a sporangiospore, forms inside walled structures called sporangia, each containing multiple spores.
