Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of fungi, releasing billions of spores daily. These spores not only help propagate fungi but also play a crucial role in cloud formation. Moisture in the air requires microscopic particles to form clouds, and in biologically rich areas, these particles often originate from living organisms, including mushroom spores. With a billion spores above every square meter of Earth's surface, many drift into the atmosphere, aiding in the condensation of water into rain droplets and ice crystals, thus contributing to cloud formation.
