Miraculous ability of mushrooms

The fungus has the ability to control the surrounding air, more accurately manipulating the surrounding weather to bring fungal spores everywhere.

By interfering with the ambient air humidity, fungal species can 'wind up' , accelerating the spore dispersal process, according to the Science Daily.

Plants use many measures to disperse seeds, including gravity, wind, water and animals.

For a long time, mushrooms were listed as passive seed spreads, released spores and relied on natural air currents to spread them away.

However, new research conducted by Trinity University (USA) shows that fungi can create their own 'weather' to promote their spread.

Experts have used high-speed filming techniques and mathematical models to study Shitake mushrooms , discovering that they have the ability to emit water to calm ambient air, creating convective currents, from which images into wind currents that spread spores.

They argue that the same process can be applied to all fungi, including those that spread pathogens to plants, animals and people.
