Wikipedia
Oospore
An oospore is a thick-walled sexual spore that develops from a fertilized oosphere in some algae, fungi, and oomycetes. They are believed to have evolved either through the fusion of two species or the chemically-induced stimulation of mycelia, leading to oospore formation.In Oomycetes, oospores can also result from asexual reproduction, by apomixis. These are found in fungi as sexual spores which help the sexual reproduction of fungi. These haploid, non-motile spores are the site of meiosis and karyogamy in oomycetes.A dormant oospore, when observed under an electron microscope, has led researchers to draw conclusion that there is only a single central globule with other storage bodies surrounding it.

oospore
An oospore is a thick-walled, resistant spore produced in certain types of algae and fungi following sexual reproduction. It is usually the result of fertilization of an oosphere (female egg cell) by an antherozoid (male sperm cell) and serves as a resting stage allowing survival in unfavorable conditions.
