A fungus that infects house flies has evolved a remarkable way to send spores towards new hosts. Entomophthora muscae grows inside an infected fly and, after the insect dies, it produces microscopic stalks that emerge from its body. Each stalk forms a single spore at its tip. Instead of simply dropping away, the spore is forcefully expelled in a burst of liquid. A study published in the Journal of The Royal Society Publishing titled ‘Fungal artillery of zombie flies: infectious spore dispersal using a soft water cannon’ investigated this unusual launch using high-speed videography and a biomimetic ‘soft cannon’.The researchers…
