Alright, so spores are reproductive cells of fungi and plants (moss & fern). What else do we need to know about fungi?

What's the difference b/w and endospore and a spore?

Edit: Ah, indeed, fungi life cycle is on that epic AAMC list I posted earlier

An endospore is an asexual structure that is typically resistant to heat and other environmentally unfriendly things that would normally kill the bacterium.
