Reproductive cell for a fungus (5)

I believe the answer is:

spore

(Other definitions for spore that I've seen before include "Tiny reproductive cell of fungus or fern" , "Fungus reproducer" , "Reproductive body produced by fungi" , "Fungal cell" , "Asexual reproductive body" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
