This Mushroom Can Fly | KQED
Briefly

They grow up on logs or twigs on the forest floor or mulch in your backyard.The spore sacs, known as peridioles, sit patiently in their splash cup, biding their time.When a raindrop hits the cup, the peridiole hurtles off in milliseconds and lands on the ground or a leaf.Bam! Pow! Zap!As it flies, this peridiole unfurls a cord and with some luck gloms onto a blade of grass.
