  4. Zygomycota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomycota

    The term "spore" is used to describe a structure related to propagation and dispersal. Zygomycete spores can be formed through both sexual and asexual means. Before germination the spore is in a dormant state. During this period, the metabolic rate is very low and it may last from a few hours to many years.

  5. Development of Spore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Spore

    Spore is a video game developed by Maxis and designed by Will Wright, released in September 2008.The game has drawn wide attention for its ability to simulate the development of a species on a galactic scope, using its innovation of user-guided evolution via the use of procedural generation for many of the components of the game, providing vast scope and open-ended gameplay.

  6. Fungus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus

    The English word fungus is directly adopted from the Latin fungus (mushroom), used in the writings of Horace and Pliny. [10] This in turn is derived from the Greek word sphongos (σφόγγος 'sponge'), which refers to the macroscopic structures and morphology of mushrooms and molds; [11] the root is also used in other languages, such as the German Schwamm ('sponge') and Schimmel ('mold').

  9. Nigrospora sphaerica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigrospora_sphaerica

    This characteristic of forcible spore discharge is rarely seen in hyphomycetes. [2] N. sphaerica requires moisture to release spores into the air, therefore accumulation begins around 2:00 a.m. with peak time of abundance occurring around 10:00 a.m. Spore count rapidly decreases after 10:00 a.m. and remains low throughout the day.
