Fungi mate through sexual reproduction when compatible haploid hyphae merge, forming a dikaryon that eventually fuses its nuclei to create a diploid cell. This diploid cell undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores, which can grow into new fungi. Fungi can also reproduce asexually, allowing for diverse reproductive strategies.
