The primary body of the vesuvi mushroom is a hollow, spheroid shape with ribs running down the outside. When touched, these ribs contract, squeezing air out of the hollow interior and blowing a cloud of spores through an elastic hole in the top of the body in a large "eruption". The out-rush of air also produces a loud howling sound whose pitch varies depending on the size of the mushroom. Once all of the air has been expelled from the body of the mushroom, it slowly re-inflates. | The primary body of the vesuvi mushroom is a hollow, spheroid shape with ribs running down the outside.
