This little brown cup fungus was popping up all over the trail today, and conditions were just right for one of my favorite forest magic tricks! 💨Since these fungi rely on the wind to spread their spores, blowing on them lightly (or even gently tickling the inside of the cup) can indicate to them that it’s a good time to release their future offspring into the air to be spread far and wide. ✨These aren’t known to be edible or medicinal, but they sure are fun to play with! What’s your favorite w

When they sense a change in air pressure, the needle shaped sac swells up and ruptures, squirting out spores into the air to be carried by the wind. If you turn up the volume, you can actually hear them “hiss” just as the spores are released. Pretty cool way to get your spores out there! Practice t

Good morning! Let’s blow on some cup fungi shall we?:) I found the mother load of the common brown cup that loves to fruit in the spring time! These were nice and matured and I was also lucky to be the one to cause all the asci to rupture! 😎 These saprotrophs, a part of the Peziza genus, have air pressure sensitive asci sacs holding their matured spores. When rupturing the ascus, you have one chance to see such a beautiful sight of catapulting spores if they haven’t already. I find it to be so

Meet the phoenix of the mushroom world. Rising from the ashes, this violet cup fungus (Peziza violacea) is commonly found growing on burnt soils after wildfires. The cups of the mushroom start spherical, then flatten out as the mushroom ages. The inner of the cup shape is spore bearing with a highly sensitive surface. When the wind blows, the change in air pressure triggers the release of the spores from within their asci chambers. The spores are then transported away on the breeze – a cunning p
