What is the advantage of aiming at the light Pilobolus?

Pilobolus has evolved mechanisms that allow it to aim and fire in order to place its spores in the best possible spot for survival and reproduction.

What is the advantage for Pilobolus in growing towards the light and shooting its sporangia onto plant vegetation?

The orientation of the stalk towards the early morning sun apparently guarantees that the sporangium is shot some distance from the excrement, enhancing the chances that it will attach to vegetation and be eaten by a new host.

Can Pilobolus survive digestion?

Pilobolus artillery fungus. It grows mainly on dung. It shoots its spores several feet away from dung. The spores that land in grass are eaten by animals and survive through the digestive system and start growing in the animal's dung.
