http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygospores

A zygospore is a sexual part of a fungus, a chlamydospore that is created by the nuclear fusion of haploid hyphae of different mating types. A zygospore usually remains dormant for a while. When the environment is favorable, the zygospore germinates and meiosis occurs which will produce a sporangium at the end of a sporangiophore. The sporangium sheds spores. A fungus that forms zygospores is called a zygomycete.
