That is just a certain species...Sexual reproduction involves meiosis and Asexual reproduction does not (mitosis only). This principle applies to all species.
In the chart you have, that species is producing sexual and asexual spores. The asexual spores are genetically identical to the parent as they did not go through meiosis and recombine (like shuffling a deck of cards). Those asexual spores are genetically the same as cutting a piece of the hyphae and establishing a new culture of that individual from the hyphae.
In step 6 on the chart you have mushroom intercourse which produces the dikaryotic sporangium through meiosis a few steps later.
So to reiterate...the difference is mushroom intercourse and karyogamy/meiosis in steps 5-8.
