These invertebrates are known as the Blue Button or Porpita porpita and the Blue Dragon or Glaucilla marginata.

They live partly in the air and partly in the water — relying on the wind to move them throughout the ocean in search of prey.

This is also relative to temperature and humidity fluctuation. Too high and too low temperature/humidity can negatively affect spore production.

The fruit bodies of a lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) are mainly produced in the late summer to early fall, and during this time spore production will be at its highest at midday.

This microscopic world has a few inhabitants — mites and tardigrades. 

The mites are herbivores, so they pose no threat to the nearly indestructible water bears, who can survive even the most catastrophic astrophysical events. 🦠

In dry weather, the "petals" will dry up and curl around the soft spore sac, often detaching from the ground and rolling around like a tumbleweed. In wetter weather, the "petals" moisten and uncurl, allowing rain or animals to disturb the spore sac.

We’re opening #EarthMonth with an opening earthstar! Most earthstars have hygroscopic fruiting bodies — meaning that the fungus is directly affected by the amount of moisture in its surrounding environment.
