The role of a fungus’s fruiting body is to produce spores so that they hopefully land and become sussful .This fruiting body only develops as part of the sexual phase of the fungal life cycle for spore production. Spores are formed after asexual reproduction. They release the spores into the thin air and turn it to fungus when they land.

The answer is a production of spores which are used for reproduction.


In fungi, the fruiting body contains spores, which are the fungi's reproduction units. Spores are released by wind, rain, or animals. Once they land on an adequate surface they grow into hyphae, and eventually form a mycelium. The mycelium can later develop into the fruiting body and, thus, the cycle is repeated.
