Catapulting mushrooms.Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side.The spore is bent over by the drops weight,but when the film reaches the drop, the drops water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches a speed of 1.6m/s in a 5.0 $$\mu$$ m launch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.0 mm by the air.
