The larger fertile leaflets of this fern are covered with the spore bearing sporangis.

Moss spore

A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having certain tissue that conducts water and nutrients, and having branched stems. Like other vascular plants, ferns have leaves, and these are "megaphylls", which are more complex than the "microphylls" of clubmosses. Most ferns are leptosporangiate ferns, sometimes termed "true ferns"; they produce what are called "fiddleheads" that uncoil and expand into fronds. The group includes about 10,560 known extant species.

Mushrooms have intricate mechanisms and careful architecture that ensures spores do not stick in the gills or the underside, minimise fall to the ground but instead get carried away efficiently in sideways air currents. More about it:

It was very windy yesterday and this mushroom was pluming with spores :)

One of those smoke bomb fungi that we all used to stand on for fun as kids.

So I guess you could say these are barnacles, honestly I have no idea what they are. But I think they look like alien spores. Like they are about to hatch.

Fern-tastic reproduction means; nature, you are GRAND.

These steps have fungi growing on them every year. This is the start of this season's spores.

Happy Slider Sunday!

in all my many years foraging for mushrooms I have never been able to capture spores being released into the air - until today!

Between the light, the twig and the remote shutter, I needed three hands to take this shot! Anyone watching would probably have laughed.
