Fungi exist in the dikaryon state for a long time before making mushrooms and spores. How long does the diploid state last in most fungi?
Nice try Smith. Fungi do not have a diploid state.
The diploid state lasts just as long as the dikaryon state.

The diploid state lasts even longer than the dikaryon state. The diploid state is what the hyphae of the mushroom are made from.

I have a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit, notably some nice apples and bananas. I like them so much that I decide to place them in a glass display case. Within a couple of days, I notice most of the fruit is rotten. What is the likely culprit?
The fruit was tightly packed in the display case, and the water held between the pieces of fruit sped up the process of decay.
The ethylene released by the ripening fruit under glass is causing all of the fruit to decay.
The fruit was likely dirty and covered with decomposers such as bacteria and fungi.
The fruit rotted because of a lack of oxygen in the display case, allowing the anaerobic bacteria to decay the fruit.
