Fungi are cosmopolitan and occur in air, water, soil, and on animals and plants. They prefer to grow in warm and humid places. Most fungi are heterotrophic and absorb soluble organic matter from dead substrates and hence are called saprophytes. When a fungus reproduces sexually, two haploid hyphae of compatible mating types come together and fuse. In some fungi, the fusion of two haploid cells immediately results in diploid cells (2n). The fungiform fruiting bodies in which reduction division occurs, leading to the formation of haploid spores.
