Samples were analyzed using an environmental scanning electron microscope (FEI Quanta 200 ESEM, Hillsboro, OR). Non-coated stubs carrying the spore deposits were mounted on a Peltier cooling stage inside the microscope and the temperature was stabilized at 3 C. The relative humidity inside the sample chamber was controlled by maintaining a constant temperature and altering the vapor pressure (Hiranuma et al. 2008). This provides conditions of supersaturation inside the specimen chamber according to the Clausius-Clapyron equation [14]:

The sensitivity to drop expansion on the hilar appendix and adaxial surface of the spores was demonstrated by controlling the RH inside the sample chamber by increasing or decreasing the water vapor pressure within the sample chamber of the microscope (Fig 5). Water condensing on the spore forms large droplets when RH is increased to 102% RH, and shrinks when it is dropped below 100% RH, appearing as a thin film on the spore surface before complete evaporation. New drops were generated on the same spores after multiple rounds of dehydration and rehydration.

There were significant differences in the pattern of water condensation on the surface of non-ballistosporic basidiospores of Lycoperdon pyriforme and Geastrum saccatum. As the vapor pressure in the ESEM specimen chamber was increased to boost the RH from 100% to 102%, liquid water began to accumulate on the spores, but formed a thin shell around the entire spore rather than expanding as discrete droplets. This accumulation of water was visible as a thin halo around each spore (Fig 7). This behavior contrasts with the expansion of droplets on the surface of ballistospores that often exceeded the size of the spores.

Mushroom expansion is a hydraulic process that involves the osmotic inflation of tissues that expose gills and other configurations of spore-producing tissues. Mushroom-forming basidiomycetes are vital to the productivity of many forest ecosystems supported by heavy rainfall [21]. The behavior of spores revealed in this study suggests that a positive feedback mechanism may operate in which fungi whose growth is stimulated by rain, disperse massive quantities of spores that enhance precipitation. This hypothetical process is a consequence of a mechanism of spore discharge that occurs in 16,000 described species of mushrooms as well as basidiomycete yeasts and rust fungi that infect plants. There is no adaptive significance to the putative effect of spores on cloud formation. It is a consequence of the dispersal mechanism that happens to benefit the fungus beyond its effectiveness at distributing spores. If changes in climate reduce rainfall in tropical ecosystems, the resulting inhibition of fungal growth and spore release may exacerbate the frequency of droughts through this unexpected feedback loop.
