This is footage of spore emission tricks in a few fungi species. The hat-thrower fungus from my post two weeks ago makes a brief appearance at 01:18, although its unique ability is not commented upon. But we already know how great it is, right?
I have to say that slime moulds are no longer classified as fungi, and the "field mushroom" is either a bay bolete or a very similar species, but the sequences with the giant puffball and especially the earth star, in my opinion, more than compensate for these errors.
Warning: contains stinkhorn close-ups! Thus not quite safe for work.
Enjoy, and see you next week for yet more fungi-related tales.
