Abstract

The daily cycle of growth of Pilobolus filaments is discussed with emphasis on the manner in which this fungus aims at the sun. Many of the spore masses are discharged and glued on the leaves of distant plants because of an explosion in each filament at about 9:00 am. If the leaf, with spores attached, is consumed by a horse, the Pilobolus spores grow in the dung and another crop of fungus filaments matures. A plan for the laboratory study of Pilobolus is briefly discussed. The lens system, biological timing, ballistic aiming, missile firing, and attachment devices of the Pilobolus are seen as unmistakable evidences of Divine creation in the world of fungi.
