<P> Asexual reproduction is the dominant form of propagation in the Ascomycota , and is responsible for the rapid spread of these fungi into new areas . It occurs through vegetative reproductive spores , the conidia . The conidiospores commonly contain one nucleus and are products of mitotic cell divisions and thus are sometimes called mitospores , which are genetically identical to the mycelium from which they originate . They are typically formed at the ends of specialized hyphae , the conidiophores . Depending on the species they may be dispersed by wind or water , or by animals . </P>
