Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi have adapted to the problem posed by the boundary layer by either shooting their spores through it, or evading it entirely by utilizing vectors (animals or water or wind) for dispersal. Once spores are caught by the wind they can be carried very long distances.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungal spores are extremely common in the air, with outdoor concentrations typically ranging between 200 and 106 spores m− 3 (see also Chapter 3), the mean spore content outdoors being 100 to 1000 times greater than that of pollen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Spores must be carried along with soil-based dust in the wind or spread by small animals or other vectors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fungal spores are microscopic biological particles that allow fungi to be reproduced, serving a similar purpose to that of seeds in the plant world. Fungi decompose organic waste and are essential for recycling of carbon and minerals in our ecosystem.
