In my experience there's usually a small window for them to send off spores with just a touch, so I was stoked when I realized these were prime!
Definitely one of my favorite types of spore interactions, 2nd to puffballs too!
Another is interacting with the Helvella genus & light.
Go spores go!

Speaking of Springtails.

This emerging Amanita was absolutely covered in them, with nearly all fungi in that part of the forest being mobbed by Springtails.

Unless I was super careful, like with this one, they'd all go "springing-off" as soon as I crouched down to scope them out. #FungiFriends

Spores galore!

Playing with a group of Candlesnuff Fungus, Xylaria hypoxylon from our lunchtime walk today.
