What fungus shoots its own spores?
Lots of fungi actively release their spores.. I’ve observed many of these in the field. This explains it fairly well: http://www.anbg.gov.au/fungi/dispersal.html Active spore release Once again, we’ll start with a common mushroom growing in the middle of a field. As explained in the TWO MAJOR GROUPS SECTION the gills of a mushroom are lined with spore-bearing basidia. When a spore is mature it is forcibly shot from the basidium, into the air space between the gills. This is explained in more detail in the MUSHROOM SPORE DISCHARGE SECTION. While the spore is ejected horizontally with considerable force (up to 25,000 times the force of gravity), air resistance stops the spore in a fraction of a millimetre. The air in the space between two gills is still, so after coming to a stop the only influence on the spore is gravity and the spore falls downward. Once the spore has fallen below the bottom edge of the mushroom cap, and is clear of the gills, it strikes air that is not still. Even on
