Did you know: species of mushroom can create their own wind?

some species of mushrooms create their own wind to disperse their spores. They do this through a process called evaporative cooling, where the evaporation of water vapor creates small, localized air currents that lift and carry spores away from the parent mushroom. This allows them to spread their reproductive spores even in the absence of natural wind.
How it works

Water vapor release:
Mushrooms release water vapor, which cools the surrounding air.

Convective cells: This temperature difference creates small, localized convection cells (miniature air currents).

Spore dispersal: These air currents are strong enough to lift the light spores and carry them away from the mushroom, giving them a better chance to land and grow in a new location.

Ingenious engineering: This process allows mushrooms to control their environment and spread their spores in a very efficient way.
