Are conidia spores developed by plasmogamy

Dear student,
Please find below the answer:

No, Conidia are not produced by plasmogamy. These are asexual, non-motile spores produced either in conidiophores or at the tip of hyphae produced by mitosis.

Plasmogamy is the fusion of the cytoplasm of two different mycelia without the fusion of nucleus.

Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards.
