Why puffball mushrooms explode into clouds of spores
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Dropping seeds gently is for boring plants; this fungus prefers tactical explosives. Giant puffball mushrooms grow massive internal chambers entirely filled with reproductive dust. When physically struck by a falling branch or a heavy raindrop, the outer skin violently ruptures, ejecting trillions of spores in a massive smoke cloud.
One discovery leads to another.
