Rain Spores
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Rain Sporess are a type of fungus that resembles a large mushroom.[1]
They possess the ability to lie underground in a period of drought, only becoming active when a period of rain has started. With the first sign of water, Rain Spores literally pop up from the ground, erupting in a frenzy of uncontrolled growth. They reach maturity in no time and immediately release fresh spores that set into the ground and produce new fungus. When a new period of drought begins, Rain Spores wither out and lie underground until a new period of rain. The mushrooms can erupt with enough force to knock over objects on seemingly-solid ground and the released spores can choke a human without a respirator.[1]
