The zygote develops a resistant cell wall, forming a single-celled " zygospore ", the characteristic that gives its name to this group of fungi.

The " Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale ( C . psl ) " complex is a homothallic ), whereas others form zygospores between different clones of cells ( heterothallic ).
43.
Species of " Endogone " form underground structures called " sporocarps " fruiting structures measuring between a few millimeters to in diameter, containing densely interwoven hyphae and zygospores.
44.
Hyphae of " Entropezites " are preserved penetrating the " Mycetophagites " hyphae forming areas of decomposing tissues . " Entropezites " also displays a range of growth stages for probable zygospores.
45.
This creates a diploid cell known as a zygote, or a zygospore, which can then enter meiosis, a process of chromosome duplication, recombination, and cell division, to create four new haploid gamete cells.
46.
Hyphae of " Entropezites " are preserved penetrating the " Mycetophagites " hyphae, forming areas of decomposing tissue . " Entropezites " also displays a range of growth stages for probable zygospores.
47.
Hyphae of " Entropezites " are preserved, penetrating the " Mycetophagites " hyphae forming areas of decomposing tissues . " Entropezites " also displays a range of growth stages for probable zygospores.
48.
The zygospores of " Mortierella " spp . may be naked ( Fig 2 A ) or surrounded by sterile hyphae ( Fig 2 B ) that form a nest-like structure, which may be interpreted as evolutionary early fruiting bodies.
