Mushrooms are known as fast-growing organisms, especially quickly popping up after the rain. Given the pace of their growth, which is difficult to capture with a human eye, it‘s incredibly interesting to witness the changes of fungi in these mesmerizing time-lapse gifs.
These timelapses show the surprising power of mushroom buds, as they burst through the soil and elegantly expand their caps. What we see on the surface, though, is only a part of organism, called mushroom fruit. The fruit is a short-lived reproductive structure, consisting 92% of water (hence the speed of growth). Meanwhile, mycelium of the mushroom sits and sprouts from the soil. This part, in contrast to the fruit, can live for years.
If you are curious about the fungi kingdom or simply like finding out more about the processes of nature, these time-lapse shots are the way to go.

Great article..although it would be nice to have identified each crop of shroom by name..
Wow! Here you are :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBzEpW0H8uQ&t=51s
Load More Replies...Wow, I'm not sure what sort of penises you've seen in your life but mine certainly doesn't look like that.
Load More Replies...That's why the explosion is called "nuclear fungus" ;)
Load More Replies...Names please! I have had the pleasure of seeing #3 in the wild and I am really curious.
#3 is Phallus indusiatus, typically found in tropical regions. P. duplicatus is a related species and may be the mushroom you saw.
Load More Replies...Excellent but no time scale: I still don't know how fast they grow.

This is where many of the clips were taken from! please give credit! http://youtu.be/EDkR2HIlEbc?list=PLeir54K3B-inOclwcJ-xSAknYXC6KCu49
The clips that just have "youtube" are from Paul Stamets. HOW difficult to give proper credit?! http://youtu.be/DAw_Zzge49c
Wow! Very interesting, thank you! Are any of these poisonous? I really should learn to identify poisonous mushrooms .........
Instead of seeing Beauty & Wonder in things why does sex have to permeate everything? Comments below leave me speechless.
Anyone know the name of the 4th one down? They're popping up all over my yard and I don't know if they're poisonous to my dog.
Wonderful..amazing to see science in action. This is the stuff that until recently I could only read about in books.
I LOVE mushrooms and take pictures of them all the time. These were great!!!
Magic! Fantastic collection of 'shrooms, shame there's no info. The last one is a puffball - demonstrating how it came by it's name!
I believe I saw # 3 and # 4 in our yard ( first time seeing them! ) I thought #4 looked like a piece of coral. Disappeared now.
So amazing. The red one is an amanita muscaria and can be poisonous. I love the inky cap with the net, I've never seen one.
Nifty. Would be even cooler if the scientific names were included in this list.
Very Good Article..although it would be nice to have identified each type of mushroom by name..
