Description

Pilobolaceae are fascinating fungi known for their explosive spore dispersal mechanism. They grow on herbivore dung and can launch their spore-containing structures up to 2 meters away with incredible force. This unique adaptation helps them spread their spores onto fresh grass, where they can be ingested by grazing animals and continue their life cycle.
