In both cases, unlike hyphae ( or modifications thereof ) may fuse ( plasmogamy ) and their nuclei will occupy the same cell.
12.
Unlike in animals and plants, plasmogamy is not immediately followed by the merging of the nuclei ( called " karyogamy " ).

The life cycle of " Cyathus olla ", which contains both haploid and diploid stages, is typical of taxa in the basidiomycetes that can reproduce both asexually ( via dikaryotic mycelia in a process called plasmogamy.

The life cycle of " Cyathus stercoreus ", which contains both haploid and diploid stages, is typical of taxa in the basidiomycetes that can reproduce both asexually ( via dikaryotic ( containing two nuclei ) mycelia in a process called plasmogamy.
