Conidia

/kəˈnɪdiə/ noun

Definition

Plural of conidium; asexual spores produced by fungi that can spread and grow into new fungal organisms without requiring sexual reproduction.

Etymology

From Greek 'konia' (dust) combined with the diminutive suffix '-idium'. The name refers to the dust-like appearance of these spores when they cluster together on fungal structures.

Kelly Says

Conidia are how fungi spread—they're so tiny and numerous that a single moldy orange can release billions of spores into the air, which is why mold spreads so quickly in your kitchen.
