Oospores-- An oospore is a thick-walled sexual spore that develops from a fertilized oosphere in some algae, fungi, and Oomycetes.

In Oomycetes, oospores can also result from asexual reproduction, by apomixis.

Zoospores--A zoospore is a motile asexual spore that uses a flagellum for locomotion. Also called a swarm spore, these spores are created by some protists, bacteria and fungi to propagate themselves. Zoo spores are monoflagellate.                              
Ascospores--An ascospore is a spore contained in an ascus or that was produced inside an ascus. This kind of spore is specific to fungi classified as ascomycetes (Ascomycota).
Basidiospores--A basidiospore is a reproductive spore produced by Basidiomycete fungi, a grouping that includes mushrooms, shelf fungi, rusts, and smuts. Basidiospores typically each contain one haploid nucleus that is the product of meiosis, and they are produced by specialized fungal cells called basidia.

Spores:-

Zoospores: Special kind of motile and flagellated asexual spores produced endogenously the zoosporangia.

Ascospores: Sexual spores produced endogenously in ascus on ascocarp.

Basidiospores: Sexual spores produced exogenously in basidia on basidiocarp.

Oospores: Sexual spores produced inside the oogonium.

Wish that this helps! ✌
