What kind of reproduction do mushrooms use?
A
spore reproduction
B
fragmentation
C
parthenogenesis
D
budding
E
runner
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A mushroom may release spores or split pieces of itself in asexual reproduction through either budding or fragmentation. The hyphae of two mushrooms fuse when the mushroom reproduces sexually, and they create a new mushroom to grow in the surrounding soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -The spores travel from the mushroom along wind currents, and when they land in a moist place, they germinate. Each spore grows a network of fine threads of hyphae, which creep over and through the food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like most plants, mushrooms reproduce in two ways: sexually and asexually, depending on their species. What is this? Scientists call fungi that reproduce only sexually teleomorphs. They label those that reproduce only asexually anamorphs-also called imperfect fungi.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spore Formation is an Asexual Reproduction technique. Many Spores are housed in sacs known as Sporangia. The plants produce hundreds of spores and the spore sac bursts. These spores are dispersed into the air, where they germinate and create a new plant under favourable conditions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bacteria produce spores in unfavorable conditions to survive; such spores are called endosomes. The process of production of spores is called sporogenesis.
