From fungi! Read about aspergillus here aspergillus.org.uk/indexhom...

Once growing, fungi such as these produced aerial structures (a bit like tiny mushrooms) that shed million of spores. In the main these are carried in even slight air currents - in the outside air we can easily get many thousands of spores per cubic metre of air as part of our normal environment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore

There are several different types of fungi - mushrooms are only one type and the mushroom released million of spores from its gill structures underneath the cap.
