Description

This photo shows the sexual reproduction process of Rhizopus (one of the Zygomycota[Ture Fungi]). The haploid hyphae of different mating types start growing towards each other and eventually differentiate into different cell types. 

The structures on the right side are two gametangia with a ploidity of n paired together(one of them is [+]strain and the another one is [-]strain). After their fusion and plasmogamy (fusion of cytoplasm) we have a zygosporangium with a ploidity of either n+n or 2n(the structure on the left).

Suspensor are the structures that support the gametangia. It ensures that they grow towards each other and come into contact to undergo plasmogamy.
