There are several different mechanisms by which fungi release their spores into the air, which then allows them to be dispersed by wind. ... Once free of the gills, they can be carried great distances by wind, away from the parent mycelium. While this is a simple mechanism, it should not be underestimated.

Answer:
hi friend,
The spores may be released actively or passively. In the former the fungus, through its own actions, ejects the spores from the basidia or asci with considerable force. In the latter the fungus relies on some other agent to release the spores from the fruiting body. The agents are varied - wind, impact, water, insects.
