Wikipedia
Chlamydospore
A chlamydospore is the thick-walled large resting spore of several kinds of fungi, including Ascomycota such as Candida, Basidiomycota such as Panus, and various Mortierellales species. It is the life-stage which survives in unfavourable conditions, such as dry or hot seasons. Fusarium oxysporum which causes the plant disease Fusarium wilt is one which forms chlamydospores in response to stresses like nutrient depletion. Mycelia of the pathogen can survive in this manner and germinate in favorable conditions. Chlamydospores are usually dark-coloured, spherical, and have a smooth (non-ornamented) surface. They are multicellular, with cells connected by pores in the septae between cells. Chlamydospores are a result of asexual reproduction (in which case they are conidia called chlamydoconidia) or sexual reproduction (rare). Teliospores are special kind of chlamydospores formed by rusts and smuts.

chlamydospore
A chlamydospore is a type of thick-walled, often large, asexual spore found in certain fungi and algae. It is primarily a cell of vegetative reproduction, meaning it produces a new organism without the need for fertilization. These spores are typically formed by the restructuring of hyphal cells and are used by these organisms to survive in unfavorable environmental conditions, such as in the absence of light or essential nutrients.
