Pilobolus!

Using ultra high-speed cameras recording at a blistering 250,000 frames-per-second, scientists recorded 4 different species of fungi which discharge their spores using hydrostatic pressure. Measuring for distance, velocity, and acceleration, they found the spores’s launch speeds of 25 meters-per-second (impressive), but it was their airborne acceleration that surprised them - the spores traveled a distance of up to one million times their length in a single second, making for the fastest airborne acceleration yet found in nature. The second fastest? Single women over 30 when spotting an eligible man at a bar.

This ability is crucial for the fungi’s survival. These particular species, like Pilobolus seen in the footage above, all make their home in dung. The fungi rely on herbivores consuming them to propagate their species, yet cannot rely on them getting too close, requiring more extreme methods to put them within grazing reach. Also like single women over 30.
