Dr. Money (yes, that's his name), from Miami University, recorded some ultra high-speed video of fungi releasing their spores at ridiculous speeds.  The spores were found to accelerate at up to 180,000 gs.  You can read all the details in the paper.

Some of his students made a "Fungus Opera" using some of the footage Dr. Money recorded.
