Pilobolus is a genus of fungi that commonly grows on herbivore dung.
The picture shows the sporangium carrier with the black hat, that contains thousands of spores.
It always grows towards the light and the black hat with spores is ejected up to 2 meters.
With the plants the spores will be eaten by animals and after the intestinal passage the life cycle
begins again.
