Amazing Find: Cannonball Fungus!!!!


7 pictures above in notes (1 enlarged version for each collage picture and three other pictures)
This kind of find is so exciting to me! I've never seen anything like it before, and though I spent a long time searching online, I couldn't find any pictures of this type (species info below!). In any event, I was delighted to have found this interesting fungus. With globes, each stands only 2-3 mm in height, very small.
A HUGE THANK YOU AND HUG to Chrissy for identifying this fungus for me!!!! It's called Cannonball Fungus, or "Sphaerobolus stellatus" and you aren't even going to believe this...like its name says, it HURLS a "cannonball" of spores (see inset image) away from itself to spread its spores!!! Check out this animated gif here to see! Cannonball Fungus in Action! ) Can you say TOTALLY COOL AND AMAZING?!!!!! WOW!!! Here's more information about this cool fungus, and once again, THANK YOU CHRISSY!!! :D Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for July 2005: Sphaerobolus stellatus, the Cannonball Fungus
