Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the American Microscopical Society, 1913, Vol. 32: Published Quarterly In the first place brief reference may be made to the state in which fungi exist during their transport. They may be carried as spores, as sclerotia, or as mycelium. Most fungi produce from one to several different kinds of spores, or specialized reproductive bodies, which provide for the perpetuation of the species, just as seeds of our Spermatophytes provide for the production of more seed plants. Spores may be active, that is, motile or capable of locomotion, but in most cases they are not endowed with the power of movement; in the former case their own activity may carry them in an aqueous medium to points far away from the parent plant that produced them, but in the latter they must be transported by some outside agency.
