Giving the illusion of a pyrotechnic display, sunlight reflects from the fruiting bodies (called sporangiophores) of Spinellus fusiger, a parasitic fungus that infects mycenoid mushrooms such as Mycena haematopus (also known as Burgundydrop bonnet, or bleeding Mycena).
Spinellus fusiger grows in the cap of the hapless mushroom host and eventually breaks through to produce the sporangiophores bearing tiny pin head structures (sporangia) containing spores. This parasitic fungus is widely distributed and is found throughout Europe, Asia and North America.
