Fungi tend to reproduce sexually when nutrients are
limited or other conditions are unfavorable, but they
reproduce asexually in more ideal conditions.
Why is this strategy successful? Please add a reference
website, and an example if possible
Fungi can propagate themselves successfully with their millions of asexual spores. That being the case,why is the production of sexual spores necessary?
