I'm so confused about that one part - spore recombination? Can two different species of fungi's spores come together and just...become something?! I don't know a lot about fungi and I may have misunderstood that part.
The zine reminded me of the posterboards we'd make in school about a topic. Offering interesting facts and trivia without belaboring a topic. And also functioning as a good springboard for questions with the posterboard's maker.
yes! sorry i should have prefaced it with the fact that it’s not super accurate and just selected quotes from the textbook but the mis-mash type zine was totally what i was going for! i don’t know that much about fungi either so it was interesting to start learning about them! also from my understanding (limited) because fungi spores are so diverse including using different carbon sources as nutrition, the sexual reproduction occurs via a switch from vegetative to reproductive growth - generally triggered by a hormone - and from what i can pick up, spores only have to be sexually compatible for sexual spores/sporulation to occur. also asexual reproduction is vastly preferred by fungi and there’s a vast variance between individual species when it comes to microscopic spores. i fear fungi aren’t normally my thing </3
