Phycomyces
Phycomyces is a genus of fungus, known for their strong phototropism response. Found this one growing on dog poop
I have now learned that it can sense and respond to light, touch and gravity. Those hairs it makes are its sporangiophores, each of which holds aloft a tiny sphere full of spores.
