Surprised kind of fungus capable of creating magic rain

This strange mushroom releases millions of spores into the air, which is why they can create clouds above the fungus and cause rain.

This strange fungus has millions of fungal spores floating on the hat , visible to the naked eye. Estimates around areas with this fungus may contain millions or even billions of mushroom spores wafting in the atmosphere. They play an important role in maintaining a humid environment for mushrooms and the forest where they live.

Researchers believe that these fungal spores can create clouds that form above fungi and produce rain. This will create a positive feedback loop for the mushroom. To make it easier to understand, rain will help mushrooms thrust more spores into the atmosphere, thus creating more rain.

Scientists do not think that this is a fungus breeding method that they think is a way for the fungus to maintain a humid environment to help them thrive. Fungal spores are found in ray leaves in the mushroom caps or the lower pores of mushroom caps. In particular, each mushroom can spread up to 30,000 spores per second.

It was also discovered that when relative humidity reaches 100% as in saturated clouds, water condenses into large droplets that are sufficient to produce rain. However, if the humidity drops below 100%, the water will evaporate from the spores. Therefore, the fungus producing spores may have an important effect on the formation of raindrops in the forest they live in.

This is not the first time experts have discovered tiny biological particles involved in the formation of rain. Previously, it was known that bacteria could also act as a "sprayer", in which tiny molecules such as a nucleus for water condensation, then developed until those drops of water are big enough and falling.

Scientists also found evidence of the type of bacteria that cause rain and even snow in Antarctica. This finds that bacteria can hide in clouds and move to very far distances.
