Explanation :
Basidia are club-shaped structures that produce sexual spores in mushrooms. Mycelia are networks of fungal filaments, conidia are asexual spores produced by certain fungi, and ascus are sac-like structures that produce sexual spores in certain fungi. Hypha is just a general term for the filaments that make up the body of a fungus.
