Learned something new today

Pilobolus:
"A fungus which grows prolifically on cow feces and facilitates the spread of lungworm larvae by projecting them up to 10 feet when the fungal sporangia explode, as they do when they ripen."

Answers in Genesis magazine describes the little black sporangium as little cannon balls. After they explode into the grass, cows will eat them again.

It's a cycle.
