How does lactarius indigo reproduce?

Lactarius indigo, like other fungi, reproduces primarily through spores. These spores are produced in specialized structures called basidia, located on the gills of the mushroom's cap. When mature, the spores are released into the environment, where they can be dispersed by wind or water. Once they land in a suitable habitat, they can germinate and form new mycelium, continuing the life cycle of the fungus.
