Detection of rare spray fungus

Spores inside the gaestrum mushroom, or soil star fungus, escape when exposed to external influences.

Gaestrum mushrooms spray spores to reproduce.

Joanna Szturemska recorded the scene of gaestrum mushroom spores to reproduce when the spore-affected container in Sankey Valley Park, Warrington, England, Story Trender reported on January 10.

Gaestrum mushroom , also known as star soil mushroom , does not contain poison despite its rather strange shape. Many animals use gaestrum mushrooms as food. However, for humans, this fungus is not edible due to inappropriate taste.

"They often spray spores when rain hits spores or animals. Spores form naturally inside the fungus and are sprayed when the fungus matures , " Szturemska said.

"Gaestrum mushrooms have no effect on humans. They are very beautiful but not useful. Like other fungi, they can become food for animals. Depending on the region, they are often considered to be born. I have seen them once in Poland, but the fungus is smaller than the gaestrum fimbriatum, " she added.
